Omens

At the coffee shop next to the office, this morning there appeared a friendly little sign on the door saying "Just in case the world ends tonight, it's been nice knowing you all." I asked the owner about this and he pointed out that the date is 6-6-6. Which would never have occurred to me if someone hadn't mentioned it (and I wouldn't have made anything of it if I *had* noticed). Although the NYTimes has an article about this too.

On my drive into town this morning, I had to swerve to avoid a very cute turtle who was crossing the road. Which sounds like the set-up for a joke, but I'm taking this little turtle's faith as an omen that the world is not, in fact, going to end.

So there.
