I don't mean it in any sort of positive sense; I mean it in the sense that if I live every day as if it's my last, then when tomorrow happens it's a new set of problems to deal with and solve. I keep trying to make long-term plans that rely on theoretical information. And...all I can do is try to stay informed. It really doesn't matter if gas costs $15.00/gallon in 2013; if we're still driving internal-combustion cars at that point, we're fucked regardless. So. We have to do something new, and there is no point giving myself a panic attack right now over the fact that my life is going to change, irrevocably, because a) it was already going to do that, and b) I don't know what new information I will have next week, next month, next year - but I do know that America cannot function as it does right now without easy access to moving goods and people from point a to point b, and commerce will win in the end.

It might be the only time I've been on capitalism's side in anything.

But right now, that particular part of tomorrow is going to have to take care of itself, because I can't.
