The Norse had a myth that at the end of the world there would be an epic battle, called Ragnarok, between the good gods and the evil ones. The evil gods, led by Loki, would ride into battle in a ship made of the finger and toenails of the dead.
There was no way to prevent the end of the world but the living could delay it by meticulously destroying the finger and toenails of their departed before burying them. They knew that there would always be some people somewhere who would die with their nails intact and little by little the ship would eventually get built, but they did their best to put off that moment for as long as possible.
That's why, for the first time in my life, I'm voting for POTUS and placing my ballot for President Trump. I voted in the primary elections of 1988 and did not vote again until the mid-terms of 2018. But I'm voting next month, just hoping I can eliminate a few fingernails before the gods of evil get them.
