That's not happening anytime soon, so no need to change your vacation plans.

Whew! Thank goodness. I'd really like to go to Jamaica again.

I think one big boom will take away the life on earth. I have no idea when that will happen but hopefully before we run out of water and the ability to produce food. Water shortages are already taking place. Kansas has had drought conditions for years and the aquifer in western KS is on its last legs and they are raising cattle out there and processing it which will surely hurry it along. Haven't they been fighting over water in the Colorado River for some time now?

"The Rapture"? I know several people making predictions that the end is near and that they are "going". Since I am not a Christian, I will be staying here but, once they are gone, I will only miss a couple of them. Thank God, most don't know that I am not planning to make the trip with them.

The sun is not acting right. I don't have scientific words or theories on it but this being my 60th year of life, what I see and keep telling my husband (rapture ready he is ) is that it is like the sun is shorting out like when an electrical or electronic device is in its final days.

I checked out the Yellowstone thing awhile back and we would get devoured by that.

I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it but when I do, I am glad that I am 60 years old instead of 20 years old.

This sewage can also lead to eutrophication. In addition, it can cause human disease and lead to beach closures.

got a source for the sewage into the Mediterranean comment?

I was perfectly nice and respectful in my post, would expect the same. Coming from you though, no surprise
