sir willymac! howya doing on this fine Sunday? what goes on there on Sundays?
how far are you from a city? I'd hate to see the herds coming from a city looking for food and water if the grid goes down!

City of Columbia about 30 miles away. Far too close but we're at least semi rural. I don't look forward to having roaming zombies, either, but in most places you're gonna have "walk-by" threats sooner or later. At least I have a few neighbors who can help with the "citizen patrol" stuff. That's a difficult job to manage for just two people. 24/7 guard duty will do you in!

Nice small town near here: 1,500 people who drive pickups and don't dress up to go shopping. Lots of beards and Southern accents. I would pick any of them at random to back me up rather than a city slicker!

Lazy day usually on Sundays. The traditional "no work", quiet day for most. Take it easy after church, spend family time, depending on your age and interest.

sir willymac..well that should be a safe distance from the larger city of Columbia, especially if the smaller town is between you and Columbia. It sounds like a pretty good set up. Hopefully you'll never have to use it as such for an end times type of scenario!

I hope it never comes to that, but this is a crazy world already and these are perilous times, so everyone should be as prepared for unpleasantness as they can be. I'm too old for that kind of emotional and physical challenge, and it would probably mess with my morning walk routine and that would really get me in a snit.

Yep, it's a good place to be. Better than some, for certain!

haha! this isn't a funny reply on such a serious subject except for your getting upset about your routine! lol!

Well, some things are sacred and don't need to be messed with.

Of course it's an absurdity, but so are the things we do to ourselves on a global scale.

We laugh at them because it's easier to get our minds around absurdities than it is most of the realities we are faces with these days. I can see why people just withdraw from current events and impending doom and instead focus on the most minute and unimportant things to make the world disappear.

haha! yes sir I have to laugh or cry so sometimes I just laugh at the absurdities.
