The catastrophe will be beautiful at first. It is a balmy evening in late September 2012. Ever since the sun set, the dimming skies have been alive with fire.
Pillars of incandescent green writhe like gigantic serpents across the skies.
Sheets of orange race across the horizon then, 90 seconds later, the lights start to go out. Not the lights in the sky, they will dazzle until dawn, but the lights on the ground.
By midnight, every mobile network is down and the internet is dying. Television, terrestrial and satellite, blinks off the air.
Radio is reduced to a burst of static.
By noon the following day, it is clear something terrible has happened and the civilized world has plunged into chaos.
By the end of 2013, 100,000 Europeans have died of starvation.
The dead go unburied, the sick untreated.
It will take two decades or more for the first green shoots of recovery to appear, recovery from the first solar super storm in modern history.
Perhaps it would be wise to start stocking up on some candles.

Toy guns, they are so fun. Kids play with them, point them at each other and go bang bang. Sometimes they even put the gun to their heads and act like they shot themselves.
Then you have the kid how finds a gun, decides to play with it and shoots him self in the head, only this time, it isn’t play.
The boy found a .25-caliber European semi-automatic handgun in a box in a closet in his home. The boy is in stable condition.

The Supreme Court yesterday sharply limited the power of police to search a suspect’s car after making an arrest, acknowledging that the decision changes a rule that law enforcement has relied on for nearly 30 years.
The justices noted that law enforcement for years has interpreted the court’s rulings on warrantless car searches to mean that officers may search the passenger compartment of a vehicle as part of a lawful arrest of a suspect. But that was not a correct interpretation according to the court.
