So do you have your bags packed? May 21 is almost upon us and if you are absolutely deranged, you will believe that the rapture is going to happen. I think just after morning tea time.

I don’t have my bags packed because (A) they tell me that you can’t take it with you, and (B) I am staying behind anyway.

Apparently, those devout believers in the correct religion (which ever one that may be) are going to fly up and watch the rest of us burn. I guess some of you will finally be able to take solace in this and smile knowingly and say “I told you so.”

What I want to know is does it follow the timezones? Does that mean New Zealand is the first cab of the rank? It will make CNN a bit giggly I am sure. We will all be able to tune in and watch it happen as it moves around the world. A bit like watching Santa deliver all his presents.

So what are we all supposed to do on the 22nd? Is is a stat holiday or was it scheduled on Saturday on purpose? I was planning on mowing the lawn on Friday but I might wait until Sunday just in case it is a waste of time.

Oh well, nice knowing you all. Last call.
