Locusts, comets, solar eclipse, earthquakes, tornadoes, wild fires, droughts, pandemic, old guys into hip hop.  I think it is about time we made a sacrifice by butchering a manatee to save the ionosphere.  Anyone know where we can find one 🤔?

They got a special room down at Fed CH in Jax for even looking at them wrong. No guarantee they won't dismiss cases just because of a stupid apocalypse

My Grandpa saw the Great Comet of 1910. They lived out in the middle of nowhere where electricity wasn't available. It was so bright you could see it during the day.The entire pack of them thought Halley's Comet was a bit of dud after that. They went back in the house to experience a brighter source of illumination, whale oil.
