Congratulations. You have made it through the end of days.Over the last few months, an anticipation of the end of the world has become viral, due in large part to the ending of the Mayan calendar, which many experts say is today.And while some across the state and the nation “prepare” for the apocalypse by building shelters, stocking up on foods or using their self-imposed last hours on earth for debauchery, many more are continuing on as is, not surprised by a new day.“I really don’t think much about it at all,” said Travis Smith, an area resident. “It’s kind of a nonissue for me because I don’t think it’s the end of the world.”Smith is not alone in his school of thought.
