Danger Will Robinson...

...danger. I've been drinking thinking. We have all these levels of danger, or security warnings out there now for the really important things. We don't have them for grocery stores and the like. There's no warning that they're out of bread. No warnings that WallyWorld is out of towels. Or RX is out of vicodin. Why is that? Just as important to my ass.

Sorry, it's early and I'm really drunk tired. But what would happen if the three things that affect us the most all converged at the same level at some point in time. The three things that affect us the most are weather, homeland security and the defense of our country. The weather doesn't really have a scale, but they flash things across your TV, so we'll call that the "red" zone. Homeland Security has it's scale, and red is the highest level, so we have a thing going here. Then there's DefCon, and the highest level there is 5. Seems red to my ass.

So, what would happen if you were at work, or wherever, and they all converged at red. An imminent nuclear tornado with snakes on a plane? And no sky marshall. I'm gonna go have another drink and crawl under the covers. Was gonna go to Wal-Mart, but there's a bad moon rising. Which seems to have significant global ramifications. My ass ain't gonna go into the red zone.
