I hope I'm within arm's reach of my wife when it happens.
Cheers!
“I hope I’m within arm’s reach of my wife when it happens.”
Me too. In our graves - hundreds of years from now! Although ask me that again in 3 years, it might beat what we will be dealing with then!
And we may have more time than the 8 minutes (reading the article again, the sun is 8 light minutes away. There was an old Twilight Zone with this story - but it was set in New York at night. The other side of the earth was getting fried, but NY was still okay for now! Merideth Burgess (I think) was the main character. He figured out what was happening, and after years of building up courage to say hi to some gal (a librarian??) - realizing he only had 12 hours left. She said yes, they went out, etc.
Great story to make one think!
