Jericho
This show is dark but I can't stop watching. It feels like our future. Anyone else watch tonight?

1. Tres retro. I love it.

This was a frequent topic in 60's sci fi, futuristic fiction. I love this stuff. And yes, there are many folks who are living in isolated, rural areas prepared for just such a happenstance. Truth to tell. I kid you not. The movie "Red Dawn" in the 80's brought the theme back, as well.

2. Hellooooo, is anybody out there?
Anybody?.....

Hooboy. Did anyone read "A Boy and His Dog"? It was also a modest, but quite good movie. Harlan Ellison? Anybody?

4. Maybe that connection between Ravenswood and Blackwater postponed the new episodes.
Someone may have gotten a bit sensitive to the similarities. I've been wondering about that.

7. I love it but I don't think my neighbors
are as good as the people in Jericho. Or the men as hunky.

6. One thing I have learned watching that show
They would not have to nuke the cities.
One or two EMP blasts would fuck this country up even worse then if they nuked the cities.

I also learned how to make ice by using ammonium nitrate.
