Sad and beautiful story. I saw it posted over here https://lemmy.world/post/50292024

Hadn’t seen it posted yet, thanks!

Good thing he wasn't a meteorologist. It's the middle of August; clear, and sunny without a chance of rain at all.

Where I am it rained on and off all day Sunday, was a pretty nice gentle rain not at all thunder storm like. He was pretty close.

Predicted IOT bullshit and Roombas.

I wonder where the house was sourcing all the eggs, bacon and toast, the breakfasts were huge.

It must have been only a few days or so after the detonation, since the dog died from radiation poisoning just then.

Also, electricity was still running.

I assumed there was a massive refrigerator/freezer in the basement that only had to be restocked monthly, or something like that.
