As opposed to Herr Doktor Zeit?

How do you like your end time, slow or quick- Debby Considine's secretly
wished for meteor, or, the creeping  two mile high glacial ice sheet 
which covered Hudson Bay during the last great ice age, reformed and 
embedded in the cultural sub-consciousness  of the Objibwa- the myth 
of Windigo?

MMV? Is it three V's, but two of which are enclosed: M & M, while the 
third has broken free of its "seals", and so is able to work "Its" version of 

events-  V out of context, free of bars, without normal cultural constraints?

Bar Mitvah versus BAR. 

       And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared 
       themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed 
       hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: 
       and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was 
       burnt up. And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great 
       mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part 
       of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which 
       were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships 
       were destroyed. And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great 
       star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the 
third 
       part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of 
       the star is called Wormwood: (REV. 8, 6-11)

An Early Warning System? Indeed. But when? MMV? 2005 (latin)? Or, tomorrow
and tomorrow and tomorrow...

Like Monsanto sez, it may be time to saddle up, but I'm still ridin' with the
weeds.

respectfully
