The Eclipse Doom And Gloom

Tweet

I was talking to one of my friends this morning went he went off about all the doom and gloom the eclipse may cause. Yes, it has been hammered into our heads not to look at it with naked eyes. But that’s not the doom and gloom he was talking about. Earthquakes and volcanos. Yes. Earthquakes and volcanos are going to tear the United States to pieces. Electricity will no longer be. Blackouts everywhere. Natural gas lines will erupt. Everyone will be running around crazy mad. Oh, yeah, it won’t happen right away. It will happen within two years of the eclipse–if it happens at all. Yes, after all that talk of doom and gloom he says if it happens at all. So I asked him if he had any happy things to report. “It doesn’t make you happy to know you can prepare for this possible upcoming disaster?” he asked me. “No, it’s just more doom and gloom.” “When you change the batteries in your smoke detector do you say, ‘I wish I didn’t have to do this?’ When you get in your car and put on your seatbelt do you say, ‘I wish I didn’t have to do this?’ No. You are just preparing for a possible disaster. So why should this be any different?” “Because it’s doom and gloom and most people don’t want to hear about it,” I said. “Yeah, I know people don’t want to hear doom and gloom, but you need to be prepared,” he said. So are you getting prepared for the doom after the eclipse?
