i would not survive

lately i have been sleeping quite a lot. i come home wanting to nap, and unless there is any particular reason to wake up i often just stay asleep. i don't know if that is a bad thing, but my body does tend to react the same way once it starts to get hungry: nightmares. tonight's nightmare was not all that scary, but it did get me thinking.

i don't suspect there would ever be a zombie apocalypse, but i did get to wondering what would happen if anything with an electronic circuit failed...citywide...or even country wide? we are so dependent on this sort of thing that it is a bit of a scary thought for me, because it is more feasible. if some sort of interference prevented me from driving my car, from keeping food cold in the fridge, from getting money at the atm...what would i do?

for the time being, getting around on bicycle would be fine by me, but what about all those other things that rely on electricity? and what if the power NEVER came back? so many of us are used to this modern world. we would probably fare alright in the short term...but me...i'm always concerned with the long run.

it would be a giant step back into a crazy world. i would not survive.
