I like on the news stories about avian flu when they show those rooms full of turkeys. They all gobble and shiver in unison.

I'm pretty sure the world is coming to an end. For real this time. The earthquake in Pakistan, mudslides in Guatemala, hurricanes in the US, and increasingly viscious strains of avian flu that keep defying medicine.

Or is the news just scary?

No killer bees yet. And it seems they got that ebola thing under control....

I'm pretty sure it is. It's like waiting for the other foot to fall. Drinks, anyone? Smile

You meant I spent all that time, money and effort getting sober, and now the world is coming to an end ?

If it's coming to an end, I'll be the first to buy you a drink.
