15 years too late

It's likely, perhaps highly likely, that it's too late for it to be a smooth transition. And maybe we won't make it. but maybe we will. we either will or we won't, aye?

It's possible that the teens 20 years from now will look back on the days when their elders were teens and thought cruising was cool as being as ancient and odd as teens now think about us and our 45's and transitor raidiators. k, maybe 30 years from now.

either that, or they will be huddled in the nearest cave waiting for the safety of day to go out and forage.

I am well aware of that. But of even more importance is probably the over population problem, global warming and the pollution of the ocean.

My daughter said they are sending ships to the garbage dump in the Pacific to try and recycle the garbage.
