Since we’re now a week away from December 21, now would be a good time to sort out everyone’s plans.

Everyone’s got their own plans, though.
Most of us will show up to work, and go about our business.
Others, like a Sedona man by the name of Peter Gersten, have different plans. Specifically, Gersten plans on jumping off a very tall rock, hoping to land in a “cosmic portal” that will open below.
So, take a good look at the people you see today, and consider that one of them might seriously believe that roughly 7 billion people are going to be dead by this time next week. Unless you’re at the top of this mountain in France — then you’re totally fine.
That said, let’s take a poll: do you actually think something crazy is going to happen on December 21?
