Currently Reading Green Girls By Michael Kimball see related

It is Monday morning, and life is yet again a colorful blur of light intermingled with confusion.  I did get a new background.  It's kinda fun.  Lights of earth from space.  It kinda makes you feel small. 

I was just reading a book about a plague that wiped out the population of Earth.  All of the scientists gathered in one quarantined city.  They had meteorologists, biologists, and every other type of "ologist" you can imagine.  Anyway, in one scene, all of the main characters are gathered into one room and someone has a breakthrough.  They have aimed satellites in space to look at all continents searching for heat signatures.  Heat that approximates 98.6 degrees fahrenheit. They're looking for survivors.  One of the reasons I read is to put myself into situations that the real me will never in a million years work my way into.  I imagine that the map they were looking at was markedly different than my background.  There were no mass clusters of electric lights that would indicate cities, or populations of people.  The plague had already rolled through and destroyed everyone.  But the satellites were powerful enough to find the heat signatures of approximately 600 survivors.  Not in one city, or one state, in the world.  Imagine something that could roll through and devastate the entire population of the planet.  6482119617  down to 600...
