Here I am, waiting by the phone for a man to call.
Unfortunately, he’s not a true “gentleman caller” coming to court me.
He’s a nurse coming to change my bandages. Le sigh.
At least in theory. Truth is, he was supposed to be here at 3 pm and it’s 3:39 pm and the phone has yet to ring.
I hope he’s okay.
If I haven’t heard from him by 4 o’ clock, I will call the CCC and inquire.
I did a quick check and my bandages seem OK. So if I have to go a couple more days, I should still be all right.
This will be a bit of a trial for me.
In fact, I kind of hope he is unattractive because between my attraction to men in caring professions and the fact that he will be touching my body (including my butt), I could see myself getting a tad overheated.
Never realized before what a boon it is for me that most nurses are female. No chance of them getting me hot under the collar.
And even when dreamy Dwayne was ministering to me at the clinic, I had the fact that we were hardly alone to help keep me in check.
But holy shit, this dude will be touching my bare BUTT in my BEDROOM on my BED while we are COMPLETELY ALONE.
I am feeling peaked just thinking about it.
Maybe it’s for the best that he has not shown up.
O crap, he’s here!
More after the break.
How to save the world
So here is what’s happening tn my home town.
That is not normal for the region, or any region really.
The actual real science based apocalypse is upon us, and as usual it’s the innovative who suffer first.
The “debate” about climate change is over. It’s real. It’s happening.
The deniers are rapidly dwindling in number and be safely ignored; They no longer warrant a seat at the table.
So what are we going to do about it?
I have the solution.
But people are not going to like it. It will be more expensive than anything anyone has ever done and require more cooperation between governments than there has ever been in the history of life on Earth.
But it will save far more than it costs in property damage prevention alone and I predict that governments will get very cooperative when the shit really hits the fan and the real panic in the populace sets in.
Cause baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet. This is nowhere near as bad as it’s going to get. Pretty soon we will be as painfully nostalgic for these days as we are now for the days before Trump abd Covid.
Alright, enough preamble. What’s the goddamned plan?!?
Basically, we need to weatherproof our cities.
That means enormous tall dykes along every shoreline. Massively beefed op drainage systems to prevent flooding. Equally massive windbreaks surrounding municipalities. Government money to weatherproof your home or other building. A single unified and integrated weather prediction system to track all the Biblical shit going on.
Oh, and a global water distribution system that works just like the power grid in that it will take the water flowing in from rain in rainy areas and route it to areas of drought.
Will this lead to a single world government?
Probably. It will certainly require the development of a real and robust global layer of government and that branch will need to be given a LOT of power in order to do what it has to do.
And this effort cannot be seen as just another “isnt that nice” green project.
This has to be seen as nothing less than a war. That’s the kind of focus, purpose, urgency, and willingness to sacrifice this is going to take.
Sadly, the future might be less prosperous, less comfortable, less private, and yes, I’m sad to say, a lot less free.
But it CAN be done. Civilization can survive the coming catastrophe relatively intact. We can make it through the dark night ahead.
But a lot of things are going to have to change.
I will talk to you nice people again tomorrow.
