Day 192 – The Days Are Getting Shorter

Days are getting shorter. Nights are getting longer. It is starting to turn cold (especially at night) so we are buttoning up the hatches earlier. And you can go through and document in well-populated cities, when there is a major blackout, 40 weeks later, you see a massive uptick in babies being delivered. I guess people figured, “Well, honey, there’s nothing else to do…”
I gotta be honest with you, I really thought that by now this place would have turned into a rabbit hutch by now and we would have to ration the condoms. Either I am not paying attention that much or the “hooking up” has been kept to a minimum. Obviously, Kas and Brad shag like rabbits but they are technically newlyweds. Understandable.
Then there is that whole thing about people jumping into bed right after a near death experience. You see that all the time in movies. Given the age and the drive of most, I really thought this would be shag central.
I have talked about this before but when you are single, sex gets pushed to the back of your brain. When you are married and sleeping next to someone, it doesn’t really compute for a couple not to have sex on a regular basis. But when you are single and sleeping alone, it just doesn’t become top of the line priority.
Is it possible that with the world ending, this is just not high up on people’s radar? Or are they just being subtle and I am just not paying that much attention? Honestly, I don’t see this as a bad thing. The last thing I want to deal with is a pregnant chick trapped in here much less trying to deal with an infant.
Not in this world.
