Greetings loyal followers! It's Happy Yellow Jeep Girl here on this possible next to last day on the World As We Know It. As many of you may have heard, there is a Christian radio station in California that is predicting that the Rapture will come tomorrow at 7pm local time. Now, I am interpreting this to mean that the Rapture will happen 24 different times so theoretically one could hop on an airplane and fly east really fast and avoid the whole thing altogether.
I was talking with one of our fellow bomb shelter homies YZDTRider who said "what the heck is a Rapture?" After I explained it to him, he laughed and said "Well I guess you're definitely not going if you don't even know what it is."
Personally, I am still putting my money on the Target date of 12/21/12. This guy who is making the prediction has already gotten it wrong in 1994. Plus, he is in his 80's, so it's entirety possible that he is predicting his own personal demise haha. But, dear readers, we will know for sure in T-minus 36 hours.

Election Night Boredom
Greetings Dear Readers, and Happy Election Day.
I am sitting here on my couch, watching the election coverage on 9 News, and I have come to a realization---2012 and the End of the World as we Know It has become so popular because we are all B-O-R-E-D. Our lives have become so boring, and predictable, and EASY, that people are FASCINATED by the idea that things might actually CHANGE. Sure, Obama promised Change in 2008, and there was change--Rye Bread and I got our Obama Bucks and we have changed our residence to a place where we can actually build a Bomb Shelter. The economy has changed to where there are many more MLIS graduates than there are jobs. And my beer taste has changed from Bud Light to Blue Moon. But--these are relatively mundane and are definitely not news-worthy. However, the change that is promised by the End of the World is much more provocative, as I will expand upon in the next paragraph.
When you are hungry, what do you do dear readers? I will tell you--you go to the refrigerator or the pantry and you get some food. If you are thirsty, you can turn on your faucet and receive water. If you need to go #2, you sit on your toilet and go, and then flush away your yesterday's lunch. Every day, day in and day out, our lives are so predictable and EASY. But what is going to happen when there is no more electricity and all the food in the fridge spoils? Or the water stops flowing and we can no longer flush the toilet or get a drink? What then dear readers? Well, then we will GET BACK TO NATURE! Living will not be so easy, so we will finally have to do something to survive. Hunting will no longer be a sport of rich white guys who just want a deer head for their man cave. Water gathering will be more difficult. And while wine may have helped me to get to these conclusions, wine will not be so easy to come by! And so, dear readers, I want you to prepare for the Great Adventure that is a short 2 years and 1 month and 12 days away. Please, start stockpiling wine, water, and freeze-dried food now if you have not already done so. The end is near, and we are about to have some interesting times.

It's the end of the world as we know it...
And I feel fine!!!!
Sorry, I have that song in my head. So I decided to Google "End of the world" and guess how many results there were? 131,000,000. Yep. that's One Hundred and Thirty One MILLION. Luckily, Wikipedia informed me that 2012 is a Leap Year, so I know that I will at least get in one extra day of living before the world blows up.
So this brings to mind the philosophical question, what will you do to prepare for the end of the world? Aside from the obvious building and stocking of the bomb shelter? Will you make peace with your enemies? Stop dieting? Give all your stuff away to people who don't believe? Let us know, dear readers, what your plans are!
