The Easter Bomby

When I was a child, I knew how the world would end: Nuclear War.

Then the nineties happened. The USSR crumbled. The Bush era came and went, Twice. Zombies became just as much a threat to humanity as atom bombs, and equally as fanciful.

Over the last five years, however... Things have changed. The threats of my childhood have started to once again take shape. In part I believe as the threat of mushroom war became more distant, people started to take it less seriously, and the structures we put in place to prevent it have crumbled away.

Today was the day. Today I woke up and kept checking the weather channel's earthquake readers for any rumblings out of the Korean Peninsula. I ideally wondered if all my plans that I have made for the summer would be for nothing.

Nothing out of Korea. All is quiet in Toronto.

It's a beautiful day. I should treat it as if it's my last, even though it's not.

Tomorrow is Easter.

Hope it's a good one!
