“If this were the last night of the world what would I do?
What would I do that was different unless it was champagne with you.”
Bruce Cockburn (1999)
So yeah, “We have all been here before.”
Doomsday
has been forecasted for a long time (coming). I’m seventy-two. born in the fall of 1949. The Seventies (my 20’s) were bad. You think this inflation is bad? How-a-bout 400%? Because that’s what happened in the 70’s. Gasoline went from .25 cents a gallon to a dollar ($1.00) overnight! Cigarettes, too! From .25 cents a pack to a dollar. Dog food jumped, also. Everything!
They (the experts) forecasted we’d run out of oil, water, food, etc. and so on. It was looking bleak. And then came Y2K – we’d never survive that! they said.
And yet, here we are, fifty years later.
Love, Romance, and Adventure
I say. That is the remedy. Don’t give up or in. Carry on my friends. Eat, drink, and be merry. We’ll find a way.
However, be mindful. All good things …
