Default End of the World

One of the writers at the Knoxville News-Sentinel just ran a column on some
incidents in which people were sure it was here. In one case, a storm was moving
into western North Carolina while one of the local men was away from home. His
wife got scared and took the kids over to her sister's house to let it blow
over. This was maybe around 1950.

They were walking back home after the storm when eerie lights began flashing
around the top of one of the local mountains. Back to the sister's house. They
were sure it was the second coming, and both families stayed up all night
praying. Shortly before dawn, the lights quit. They decided not to go home
because surely the world would end the next night.

Then her husband came trucking up the road with a newspaper. Asheville airport
had been testing out their new searchlight system.

You had me worried there for a moment, CJ. Thought the Mormoms were
getting all apocalyptic on us again.

However, Hitchhiker's Guide is welcome news! It's been a long time coming.

42, and don't forget your towel.

Nah. We have never claimed to know when it is. We think the day is coming,
but no one knows when it is. Pay no attention that I am selling my house and
all my possessions and that I am no longer taking on any new students. :-)

Wonder how many people will be showing up at the theater with a towel?

Just remember your towel, and you'll be OK.
