Dawn 2013: By The Soft Blue Glow Of Tinfoil...

...you get to go out a little at night.

You see, tinfoil that's deflecting the Death Radiation glows slightly blue in the dark. It's pretty, in a way. When you see fifteen people walking single-file under blue-glowing tinfoil umbrellas, it's almost festive. Even cooler, the tinfoil glow gets a green tinge at the edges of the metal, where the deflected radiation interferes with the incoming radiation around the tinfoil. You should see the Tinfoil Shack at night, it looks like a cross between a party-house and a rectangular UFO!

Unfortunately, you can't tell exactly when the Death Ray is coming at you. Due to changes in the Earth's rotational habits, orientation, and position around the Sun, the Milky Way isn't always in the sky at night, so the Death Ray can be hidden around the curvature of the Earth, or even on the other side of it at any given time. Astronomers and really good Astrologers know, though. There are even times when you need to hold the umbrellas sideways to shield yourself.

The one rule is, you'll always know which way to point your umbrella by looking at how it's glowing when you step outside. You can even make it out slightly on a brightly sun-lit day.

So you see, you have to plan your outings by the soft blue glow of tinfoil. I bet they'll write a blues song about it someday.

Speaking of Astrologers and such, here's a blast from the past I recently found; "Is There Life After 2012?" by the California Psychics' Blog: http://blog.californiapsychics.com/blog/2010/06/is-there-life-after-2012.html/

Enjoy the laughs and the tears. Maybe it'll help sustain you until the Galactic Death Ray passes.
