Last night, a snowstorm closed the I-5, forcing us to take the 58 to detour through Bakersfield and over to the 14 to get home on time. The detour was great, because we got to drive through a snowstorm near Tehachapi, the first snow I’ve been in contact with since I was about 5 years old. According to the news, they later closed the 58 due to snow, which I can totally believe. Great drive, though.
I digress… In Bakersfield, sitting at a stop light, I became 100% convinced that we are living in the End Times (not necessarily the Christian End Times, but somebody’s). The evidence, the sign above, for the Gas War gas station in Bakersfield. i’ve been waiting for the end of the world to begin for some time now, so I’m pretty eager and biased to see signs of it’s coming. Stockpile your food, ammo and guns, because you won’t have an opportunity to arm yourself after the raging mobs of gasoline deprived commuters take to the streets looking for anything to keep their combustion going.
