� Photograph by Tom ([email protected]) IF YOU HAD THIRTY MINUTES TO VACATE � Bob ([email protected]) IS THIS THE MOST IMPORTANT THIRTY MINUTES OF MY LIFE? MUST I DECIDE MY VALUES IN THIS PERIOD OF STRIFE? WHAT THOUGHTS I THINK! WHAT COMES TO MIND, IN ORDER TO DECIDE? HOW CAN I SUMMARIZE MY LIFE, MY PREJUDICE AND PRIDE? WE HAVE NO KIDS OR PETS, YOU SEE, THERE�S JUST THE WIFE AND I, WE HAVE TWO CARS TO LOAD IN JUST THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE IT�S POSSIBLE THAT WE COULD TAKE FIVE MINUTES FOR A PLAN TO SEE WHAT�S BEST TO TAKE WITH US (THE FEW THINGS THAT WE CAN) THERE ARE SOME NICE POSSESSIONS WE JUST TAKE RIGHT OFF THE TOP AND SOME QUITE DEAR, THAT THOUGH WE WANT, WE KNOW THAT WE MUST DROP AND WE MAY LOSE SOME PHOTOGRAPHS, I DON�T SUPPOSE WE�LL BLEED A COIN COLLECTION COMES TO MIND AS SOMETHING THAT WE�LL NEED AND THE COMPUTER, JUST THE TOWER, LOGICAL ENOUGH THE BEST OF CLOTHES, A BOX WITH SHOES, A COAT OR TWO AND STUFF THE TRAVELING KIT, THE THERMOS, AND THE COOLER WITH FOOD IN IT AND ALL THE BOTTLED WATER IN THE FRIDGE, JUST TAKES A MINUTE IN MAKING SUCH DECISIONS, ALL ONE�S VALUES MAY COME KNOWN, WHAT LIFE�S ABOUT, WHAT WE�VE BECOME, TO OTHERS MAY BE SHOWN IN ANY CASE, IT GIVES ONE PAUSE TO BE FORCED TO DECIDE WHAT ONE MUST KEEP; OR THROW AWAY, NO LONGER TO ABIDE WHEN LIFE GOES BY, SO FLEETING, AND YOU MUST SAY STAY OR GO IT�S DIFFICULT, IMPOSSIBLE FOR SOME THINGS, AS YOU KNOW BUT WHEN THE NIT BOILS DOWN TO GRIT, YOU�VE MEASURED EVERY OUNCE. YOU�VE GOT EACH OTHER, AND YOU�RE SAFE, AND THAT�S WHAT REALLY COUNTS! I�M GLAD I�VE HAD THIS CHANCE RIGHT NOW TO TRY TO ANALYZE THE PROBLEM, AND A MOMENT JUST TO TRY IT ON FOR SIZE I�M SORRY FOR THE VICTIMS THAT I�VE SEEN ON OUR TV I HOPE IT NEVER HAPPENS, NOT TO YOU AND NOT TO ME!
