Not a passover post

I find myself disappointed to discover that a massive asteroid won't hit the Earth in 2029, or possibly 2036. In 21 to 28 years I'll be approaching retirement age and from two decades out I can say that navigating a post-apocalyptic landscape sounds more romantic than charting a slow decline into assissted living.

It would have taken some luck, obviously, to survive the asteroid impact. Ideally you'd like to be on the far side of the planet from the event, and even then you'd better have a deep hole and plenty of batteries. Seems like 20 years is long enough to get that together.
