The Diet Coke shortage, due to lack of supplies from China, dries up his supply. He sends out government agents to break into hoarder's homes to replenish his stock. Riots ensue. A bill is introduced in the Senate to outlaw Diet Coke possession by civilians, it fails in the House. The country ends up like the Coke machine in Dr. Stangelove. The 25th Amendment is invoked. Things get worse under Pence. It does not end well. People say this is what the country gets for electing a moron with a 12 pack a day Diet Coke habit.

(86,802 posts)so I stay home a lot, which is less expensive anyway. I just got back from a little hike, about two and a half miles but on cobblestone along the river so I get ten points for that. Didn't find any good keepers among the rocks today. Last week I went to a different stretch of the river and found a 3lbs agate. It's real pretty.
That's my therapy most of the time. Rockhounding on the river or hiking up in the hills with friends in summer. We have grizzly bears so it's not a good idea to go alone out there.

(29,570 posts)While was at the store some asshats set up a whole bunch of expensive looking Drumpf flags and signs at the busiest intersection in the area. They got a gentlemanly thumbs down and a courteous "morons" from me as I drove past.
What are these "hills" of which you speak? I am in Florida.

(86,802 posts)I'm in Montana, we've got mountains and rivers and bears and wolves and cool stuff. Going out for a walk is basically a hike unless you live in a city. We have some cities but I have to drive up the valley a ways and over a mountain to get to one. It was nice out today so I went for a hike before the next snowstorm gets here tomorrow.
