Carpe Diem? If only it were that simple.

The problem with really unhealthy behavior is that it usually doesn't kill you all at once. You don't suddenly die. You linger in misery.

For example, smokers blow off dying young but don't consider "living" with emphysema, wheeling around a tank of oxygen just to walk.
If you make it to diabetic, you end up eating with exceptional care - whilst your toes are amputated one-by-one, you may go blind, and lose other organ functions.

The misery comes when it comes - not on some scheduled date far off in the future. A few luck out* - most don't.




*Bacon-lovers don't consider looking like their quarry.

Straw Poll

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
