Well, it's 0913 hours on the 21st of December in New Zealand, and so far nothing has happened. Took my dog to the vet. Ate some crisps. Watched a film. It's been great.
The hippies were up for the Solstice at Stonehenge.
Usually we envision alien ships buried under there ready to take over/destroy the world on cue. Doesn't really make it a good decision to stand within the stone circle during such moments......
We just had a major blizzard here in Iowa. I couldn't get to work on Thursday and spent part of the day clearing my 75 foot driveway, along with the sidewalks in front of my house and the front and back porch walkways. The local news media has dubbed the blizzard as snowmageddon!! So it may not be the end of the world but it's the end of my patience for any more snowfall for a while.
