1.) Run like hell.
2.) Dive headlong (with perfect timing as the blast begins.)
3.) Sigh with relief as I look back at the roiling fireball.

PROMPT: Word [Overly Used]
“Nazi” and other terms used to hyperbolize the villainy of those who are, at most, moderately villainous. It allows people to dismiss – rather than debate – beliefs with which they are in disagreement, while – simultaneously – it diminishes understanding of the extremes of horror the world has known.

PROMPT: Peace
The Peace Train. [Until it gets to my local hub, from whence it comes on a Peace Scooter.] Sometimes it takes several days for delivery, but other times it’s same day. I guess it depends on whether there is any in stock regionally.

PROMPT: Profession
Nurse. I think it takes a tremendous level of humility and compassion. Also, I suspect it may be among the last handful of human jobs (as we know them now) to still exist once AI-robots start doing pretty much all productive tasks better, faster, and more efficiently than humans. I think long after our doctors are machines, we will have human nurses.

PROMPT: Most Important
Daily writing prompt
What is the most important thing to carry with you all the time?
Heart and brain tie. Without the former I’m not alive; without the later I am not.

PROMPT: Change
Daily writing prompt
What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?
If I can spark the occasional smile of amusement or trigger a line of thought once in a while, that’s enough. In the long run, it’s all dust. (That latter commentary was more on the thought-provoking than the amusing side of the equation.)

There are flying cars here. I fear my death will be by chucked beer bottle.

PROMPT: Expensive Meal
Daily writing prompt
What’s the most money you’ve ever spent on a meal? Was it worth it?
I can’t remember, but it’s never been worth it. Seems like the more one pays for a meal, the hungrier one leaves it. Enjoy your “foam reductions” if you like, but it’s not for me. I’ll take street food any day — cheap, filling, flavorful street food. It’s got character and doesn’t try too hard.
My palate may be unrefined, but — also — I’m no sucker.

PROMPT: News
Daily writing prompt
Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that.
A bus strike starts today. My chance of dying on the grill of a crosstown bus is substantially reduced for some indefinite period.
