"Just think about this, Richard."

As the world rapidly escalates to WW3, its’ more than reasonable to ask yourself, how much time does humanity have left? It’s a great question and I find myself asking it all the time. The question is, what will be the exact reason for our demise. We have so many options to choose from. Will it be climate change, some as to yet announced pandemic, the complete and utter breakdown of civilization or all-out war? If I was a betting man, I'd go with the trifecta.

So, what are our options?

I really enjoy those International House Hunting Shows. You know the ones. They generally feature a nice American couple, or family, looking for a new house somewhere very far away from here. Recent locations that I have video visited include The Mediterranean, The Caribbean, England, Paris, and that sunny place where they filmed a lot of Game of Thrones.  

So, as a primer for getting the hell out of Dodge, I offer this ongoing service to anyone interested.
 
First, it goes without saying that you are going to need a passport. 
 
Unfortunately, I can only give you the legal way. For any other type of “instructions” you’re going to have to consult the Internets. Word of warning. Whatever you do, find a good one. I suggest Blythe (The Forger) from The Great Escape. I hear he does good work. Ask anyone at Stalag Luft III. He also knows a a hell of a lot about birds, particularly the Masked Shrike.
 
For the rest of you, you will have to make do with getting your papers at your local post office. It is a lot slower than Herr Blythe but you can always come early for photo day and enjoy the ambiance. 
 
And now the fun part:

Skip the library. You’re better off with a subscription to Hulu or, better yet, HGTV. And now, sit back, relax, and witness wealthy Americans ask for that quaint European cottage feel but with plenty of closet space. There are plenty of these shows to choose from. The only geographic region not covered is Arctic tundra. But, they are melting anyway, so you might just call it a wash.
