Hope you all enjoyed the past several days of sunshine and near 70 degrees temperatures because, starting tomorrow (Sunday,) it appears that we are in for a week of temperature in the 60’s with rain almost every day.
Additionally, each evening, through next Thursday, will see tidal street flooding on West 12th Road.
To add insult to injury you also have to keep in mind that world is ending next Saturday, May 21st.
What, you haven’t heard the “Awesome News,” that, according to some, Judgment Day is coming on May 21?
That’s the day our estate values really shoot up: the rapture will occur, shooting all the deserving straight up to heaven on an express elevator of glory.
The rest of the story isn’t all fun and games though. We may get some choice picks of real estate and less planetary overcrowding (and definitely a few less annoying 7th Day Adventist proselytizers coming to our doors) but that’s while we endure 153 days of “death and horror” before it all comes to a spectacular end on October 21st.
I wouldn’t pay too much attention to this kind of “doomsday” hysteria because, if you remember, civilization didn’t collapse back in 2000 with that year’s “Y2K” scare.
I also remember “ducking and covering” (a true exercise in futility) in grammar school back in the 60’s during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The world didn’t blow itself up back then either.
Also, everyone knows that according to the Mayan calendar, the world is not scheduled to end until December 21st, 2012.
Additionally, The New York City Water Board is recommending yet another increase in our water rates to take effect July 1st of this year. If the world was really coming to an end on May 21st, they would have made the rate hike effective May 15th!
Finally, as I sit here typing this post and drinking my coffee I can see that the expiration date on my carton of milk clearly states “May 23rd, 2011”!
I guess that takes care of the end of the world so I will leave the cooler, wet weather and street flooding to all of you to handle.
