The End of the World As We Know It Recently while listening to a sporting event on my car radio, guidance suggested that I should turn the radio off for a while and come back later in the game. Things were starting to go badly however and I wanted to see how they would turn out. Well, things continued their downward path resulting in the eventual loss of the game.
