Look! Up in the sky! It’s a … CRASH!

One of my favorite novels in recent years is "The Last Policeman," a novel of perseverance in the face of impending doom. Now comes word, just as Ben Winters fictionally prophesizes, that the novel's major plot device might come true.

Better start watching all those old "Survivorman" and "Doomsday Preppers" episodes. Or, if nothing else, consult that bucket list.
