and in this Ben oddly describes the first half of the movie "The Core" as 'not that far off'. (yeah, military bad, US bad movie) but the notion of super storms caused by a weak/non-existtant geomagnetic field is within the realm of many possibilities Hollywood has fun with this . but if you have ever been in a desert thunderstorm, you know it is no joke....
Posted a new segment - will post more this weekend. Thanks for your patience. I stopped to watch the Space X launch ! Exciting, to say the least.
Next segment posted. This covers the relationship between Ric and Oscar. Oscar's history further reveled.
As for the ag /vs generation, here is the yardstick I'm using right now - you know, for the draft. 2020 - Event happens GEN 1 2040 - the worst of the CME effects have moderated - GEN 2 2060 - local farming has recovered thanks to the UV resistant palnt work done - BreBurn. GEN 3 2080 - Lower infant mortality rate, population increases - GEN % 2100 - Two groups leave The Keep GEN5 Osacr's parent are in the GEN 5 gorup 2100 and change arrive at Haven GEN 1 This includes Oscar's parents and grandparents. 2120 - Oscar wins and loses his love GEN 2 - note that Oscar is a 'late in life child' 2140 - Oscar goes walkabout + GEN 3 is born 2160 - Oscar return to Haven and Gen 4 is born, Kinnik is in this group; 2180 - Ric is born - GEN 5 Note Ric is the 'baby' in the family, Kinnik now nearly 40 Y/O with family, Ric is 20 YO Total elapsed time - 2020 to 2200 - 180 years. More or less. The event may be called The Storm, The Burn, The End of Time. - I'm open for any suggestions, you the Beta readers may have on this.
