The world is ending in 24 hours. How would it end and what would you do?

A Walk In The Park
We all have awareness, we just choose not to listen to those senses that go beyond the basics. Rather we are told and taught NOT to listen.

Hannibal Lecter’s Photo Journal Reciting “Stopping By Woods On A Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost During the SnowZilla Blizzard
Quid Snow, Snow, Clarice, Quid Snow Snow… Clearly the child with the awfully noisy snow blower hasn’t completed his task yet. I shall have to give him some additional incentive.
