Post-Apocalypse

Best U.S. Places to Survive.

This presupposes you want to survive it. I've realized recently(ish) that I've got very little interest in this. Quality of life matters to me. Simply living doesn't appeal to me. (I consider this as different from living simply.)

It's nearly 6am. The light's starting to come out. The days're getting noticeably shorter already (at both ends).

My outlook's actually quite positive now, which both pleases me very much and somewhat astonishes me. I'll make mistakes, but I'll keep on learning and doing better.

Yay for positive outlooks!

In my perspective, the whole post-apocalyptic scenario really hearkens back to living simply. At least living simply from the perspective of the modern world. There will be little choice. There is an appeal to me to let go of the minutia of modern society and focus instead on building (or in this case RE-building) a life. There are times I think it would be nice to find a large-ish plot of land out in the middle of nowhere and start now. Not easy work, by any stretch, but there is something to be said about hitting the pillow at night sore and accomplished, having come by those pains honestly as a function of survival. For me, I realize I take too much for granted in my day to day life, and put in that situation, it would make it a lot more difficult to do so.

I'd like to be off the grid and not realize the apocalypse happened.

You could be all,

(knock knock)
"Yes?"
"Help! The whole city is without power and toilets!!"
"Really?"
"Oh God, there are zombies outside!!"
"Oh My."
"The sky is dark and we think the sun exploded!"
"Goodness... I'm sorry, and here I was, just watching reruns of Stargate, and I really hadn't noticed... would you like me to turn on the news for you? Some Tea? Shotgun shells?"
