the apocalypse

considering the recent developments in the world, i've decided it's time to actually start paying attention to signs of the apocalypse and omens of the end of the world. i noted a few while i was in memphis this week.

on thursday, the day that the government jacked up security measures at airports after the british foiled another terrorism attempt on the u.s., i was headed for the memphis airport for an assignment. the radio played rem's it's the end of the world as we know it. as i was leaving, i heard tom petty's don't come around here no more.

my dad told me while i was there that the last time memphis got rain was the last time i was there: over father's day weekend. while i was in town this week, it began raining thursday evening and didn't stop until friday at lunchtime.
