Travel Plans -- Heading for the All the Spots the Media is Trying to Panic Me Away From
Next month I go to Hawaii, apparently (if I believe CNN) the imminent target of a North Korean nuclear attack. While I am certainly not willing to bet my life on Donald Trump's ability to de-escalate an international conflict, I will bet it against North Korea's ability to hit a target the size of Hawaii with their current missiles (A better strategy for them would be to detonate one somewhere generally to the west of Hawaii and let the fallout sew panic in the media).
After that, I head to Yellowstone, to sit on top of the Super Volcano that (if I believe CNN) is ready to blow. Well, I am willing to take those odds. Actually, the tilting and partial draining of Yellowstone Lake some years ago was probably more scary than the current spate of small earthquakes. Besides, if it is really going to blow and pretty much destroy agriculture in this country, I would rather go quickly than slowly starve to death in some kind of road warrior style post-apocalyptic America.
