So these past few years have been filled with earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and now meteors streaking through the sky and I just can’t help but wonder about that Mayan prediction that the fifth age of the sun will come to an end.   Seriously, the massive airline disruption has highlighted yet another band of critical failures in the infrastructure we’ve all come to expect and take for granted.

Really all we need now is a large electromagnetic pulse to wipe out chips in cars, trains and airplanes and we’d be instantly royally screwed.  Why not have a large x-ray burst do us in while we’re at it?  Supposedly airlines have lost over 1 billion dollars and are now seeking bailouts from governments which means taxpayers – some business model huh?

All anyone can do is have a little bit of preparation…only 974 days till Galactic Solstice…..
