re: #125 Dread Pirate
I was down to one last bucket-list event, a night time supernova. I decided that was just too short of a list so I added an ELE asteroid strike, but I will accept a M.A.D. nuclear war as an inferior substitute as long as I can see a few strikes in the distance before the direct hit. There better be a direct hit at the end if I have to put up with a substitute.
Yeah, my one bucket list item I have almost no control over is a naked-eye supernova. SN1987a only got up to mag 3, plus it was in 1987, I was in law school, and didn’t have the money or the time to get somewhere I could see it. But it’s not like my boyfriend and I didn’t talk about running down to Central America to see it, because we did.
