Summer 2020. 38 degrees (100F) in Siberia. Expect the unexpected.

Don't forget to breathe. We're in this for the long haul and need to pace ourselves.

Some mystics believe we all chose our specific lives (location and parents) before birth. Contemplation of this possibility may help us settle in to the hard decisions we will face in the coming years.

You are free to re-order, delete and/or re-purpose this document as you see fit. This is the cultural creative commons -- necessary for our survival. (P.S. credit goes where credit is due.)

Diversity and proliferation of Exit Designs is a requirement -- we must encourage others to find THEIR particular exits and design the f*** out of them, in whatever badass way they want.
