Thanks for the vivid descriptions. Where I lived in Pittsburgh, the smell every day all day was from Iron City Beer, so it all depended if you loved or hated the smell of brewing beer. I do not miss that it was as hot and humid at night when you were trying to sleep as it was during the day.

Good point on the overloaded power grid, which is across the whole country, and we're going to add electric cars with no upgrades? Let alone the power plants are still totally unprotected from an Electromagnetic Pulse, (EMP), attack. Nuclear weapon doesn't need to hit a city. Just detonate above and everything electronic is fried! Would have cost a few billion years ago to harden all the plants. Never done.

Thanks, David...and yeah, I'll take aroma over beer smell any day of the week. As for your second paragraph, well...I really wish I had something useful or a counterpoint to share.

All good. Just pointing out how precarious and fragile our "civilized" life is.

Oh, I hear you. What I meant is that I wish that I could point to reasons why your statements were false. Unfortunately, you're dead on.
