If you HAVE to run, then you had better know your wild edible plants, of

Think of how old you are.

Now pick a number: the number of estimated years between you and a natural,

Life is sweet - albiet much too short - and either one of us could wake up dead
tomorrow - heart attack, virus, drunk driver...or just plain stupidity.

Stop thinking about the end of the world and enjoy what you have left
