MMMore than 40 years ago, I saw the Plains, as far north as Central Alberta, flooded entirely out... all that remained of America was the Appalachian Archipelago, and the High Plains between the Rockies and the Sierras... everything else -- including Florida and the Carolinas, was gone... No New York, no Ohio... no Kentucky... no California, either, or my current home, the Pacific Northwest... all GONE!

MMBack in the late sixties, some hippie "guru" told me that Howard Hughes had plans for a multi-million-dollar ocean port... in Las Vegas! This fella claimed that this "fact" was proof of the impending "End Of The World"... or, at least, of the Great California Sayanara, in which all of the Golden State west of the Sierras would just... slide... on... in... to... the ocean!

MMI asked him for some of what he'd been smoking, and he shared some of the best herb I had (to that time) ever inhaled... I wrote his "news" off to his being more than milly debilitated, but I've wondered...

MMWhen Mt Saint Helens went off -- not the first time, in May '80, but later that year, in August -- I had the sudden thought that, perhaps, the "End-Of-The-World" crowd was not altogether wrong...

MMMore than one of my trusted sisters has tol me of dreams quite similar to yours... including parts in which we were traveling the "Badlands", rescuing those few survivors who had not yet gone feral, and somehow getting them to a redoubt up in that northern "safe zone"... We especially sought children, and women of "breeding age", because our numbers had been so reuced that there was actual danger that homo sap JUST MIGHT cease to exist...

MMGrant you, some might say that this is a GOOD thing... myself, being one, I tend to disagree.

MMBesides: there are people in this forum (you, amongst them) who belie the notion that "Man is the problem in the Earth"...

MMSo... am I nuts, or do we have something to talk about? PM me if you like...
