Apocalypse Yesterday?

Dude. Check out the talking points for this week at New York Times. (If you don't have a membership, email me, and I'll send you a link...carbon free!)

In terms of oil availability, some geologists say we already reached the peak and the current reserves will last as long as say....Social Security. 2037? Wait, that's even before Social Security!! Well, I guess we don't have to worry about retirement so much now.

This was a peppy little quote I found while procrastinating the getting-of-the-ready for school and going outside into the cruel world:

Your Fortune:
Have you learned nothing from Nancy Sinatra? These boots were made for walking. Make Nancy proud. Walk to work or to the corner store. Her earlier song "These Boots Were Made for Working the Pedals on Your Brand New Luxury Vehicle," was kicky, but not as much of a commercial success.

But are you sure? I have some boots that were definitely not made for walking. I guess I'll not be wearing them today, walkin' to the bus. Get on the bus, Gus!
