Breathing comes to mind. After that everything else is a crapshoot.

kennyc · 02-02-2013, 12:59 PM

good point!

troll05 · 02-02-2013, 01:18 PM

Living instead of only surviving would be nice too

kennyc · 02-02-2013, 01:21 PM

I'm hoping to keep breathing and moving and do bit of writing and a bit of reading....and continue to keep on keeping on for a bit longer.

poohbear_nc · 02-02-2013, 08:08 PM

I want to read my entire TBR pile!

That IS proving to be a problem ....

I'm planning on being buried with my Kindle and a light on a drop cord - so I can finish reading!

red_phoenix · 02-03-2013, 02:21 PM

Does the light have a plug so you can recharge your Kindle?

kennyc · 02-03-2013, 02:39 PM

Those kinds of kindles have 'eternal' batteries.

Scan books for the public domain.

Grow food and flowers.

Vacation where it's warm in the winter.

Enjoy the books, music, and video I've bought.

Wink at pretty girls.

Sleep as much as I want.

and...Rattle people's cages as needed....

kennyc · 02-03-2013, 02:53 PM

Sounds like a good life Ralph.

I slept two extra hours just yesterday.

Since the world did not end with the passing of the asteroid, nor did a meteor level a Russian town, I will go on with my daily routines. Yet, I can't help but wonder- had the dinosaurs not been wiped out by a cataclysmic cosmic event, could mammals have become the dominant species on this planet?

Well, there was the crab civilisation before the dinosaurs, but they got wiped out by an earlier asteroid. The dinosaurs almost got their space program underway before they got trashed... no, of course not. But Terry Pratchett tells these tales in one of his Science of Discworld nonfiction books (obviously parts of it are fiction, but it is mostly science written with his imaginative flare).

I do think that the place to look hardest for other intelligent civilisations is here on earth in the past. This is the one planet we know for sure can support life, and it is even easy to get to.

Why other civilizations? And of course you'll have to look in the past, I doubt you'll find one in the present
