Ha! The boat is great. I think one or two post traumatic flood blogs is fine. The cracked mud looks cool anyway – makes me think of those dystopian stories where cities are overgrown and buried after some nuclear holocaust. Without all the people around to tidy up, it’s easy to imagine how it might only take 50 years and a flood or two to reduce the place to rubble. Of course, in this case all the people emerged from their shelters and came back down from the hills to rebuild (it would have been cool if people had underground airtight flood survival basements from which they could emerge, pushing up a trapdoor to climb out and stand on the cracked mud in the middle of the desolation, the camera would then zoom out to show our protagonists backgrounded against the tumbling ruins of a great city)

You’ve put way, way too much thought into that, Matt. But Nick and I are thinking that a little burrow might be a nice place to live. A hobbit hole, of sorts. Lovely and cool, too.

always wanted a hobbit hole, but I’m with Matt, I’ve always been comforted by the idea that 50 years after the apoclypse (hopefully zombie-apocolypse re: The Walking Dead) that everything we’ve done to the planet would be all but gone.
So glad to hear that you guys were ok btw, Lisa kept me up to date and I didn’t want to bother you what with everything you had going on.

Thanks, Drew: we just had a bad fright and a few days without electricity. Could have been far, far worse; we’ve been remarkably lucky. Glad Lisa kept you up to date: we wanted to reassure people, but I had trouble getting a steady connection on my phone.
Are you enjoying The Walking Dead? Nick won’t let me watch it. Says it’s too nihilistic (and it’s true I couldn’t cope with Battlestar Galactica for more than a season).
