Not going to make a difference.

Mr. Smith is a Washington state Democrat, and Microsoft is contributing heavily to the Republican party, as well as some token money to the state Democrats, just to make sure they don't totally alienate their representatives. By the way, his campaign ads are so content free, they qualified for "100% fat free" labeling from the FDA. End of world rescheduled for day after tomorrow. Something should probably be done. Please advise.

Right on top of Redmond HQ, large enough to destroy it, small enough to inflict only minimal damage to surrounding area and buildings. I read a short story once about a meteor that wiped out Washington DC, and about the people in the bomb silo that didn't launch retaliatory strikes. Damn that would be too much luck.

Apologies to people in the Pacific Northwest. I have roots there are well. But you happen to be in a geologically nasty area with people around that a lot of people dislike...

These include Mount Baker, Glacier Peak, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, and Mount St. Helens in Washington State; Mount Hood, Mount Jefferson, Three Sisters, Newberry, and Crater Lake, in Oregon; and Medicine Lake, Mount Shasta, and Lassen Peak in northern California. USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory, the Pacific Northwest Seismograph Network at the University of Washington, and the USGS Northern California Seismic Network and Volcano Hazards Team in Menlo Park, California, monitor the major volcanoes in the Cascade Range of northern California, Oregon, and Washington. I think you're going to have to hope for the meteor, volcanoes semm to be a little farfetched just now.
