Man V. Nature Open Thread...

I’m going camping tomorrow, so unlike my normal “out of the office” type things, where I’m still very much connected to the interwebs via a combination of iPhone and MacBook, I’m gonna be somewhere that doesn’t even have cell service. Some sort of Conrad-inspired horrors will ensue, no doubt. I will be back Saturday.

So, this is a 3-day open thread. The subject I leave to the first person with enough literary muscle to get everybody talking about the same thing. Don’t break anything while I’m gone.
