Five Predictions for 2011
Posted on January 1, 2011 by CHC   ᐃ ᐁ

The start of a new year seems to turn everyone into a fortune-teller.  So not to disappoint:

  • The last prediction in this list will turn out to be wrong.
  • 2011 will be the 24th consecutive year with repeated digits, and 2012 will be the 25th.  Enjoy it while it lasts — 2013 will have four unique digits.
  • Someone will predict that [Disaster D] will strike [Location L] on [Time T] causing [Consequence Q] and that person will no doubt be [Religious Fanatic X].
  • Most of us will get a little older.  Life will get better for some but not for others.  Sadly, the gap between the haves and have-nots will increase.  Some will wring their hands, others will shove them in their pockets.  Several will hand over their wealth to help.
  • The first prediction in this list will turn out to be right.

As I was consulting my oracle for these predictions, I discovered this page (which I predict you will enjoy), a concise and compelling photo-essay of the flow of time.  If nothing else, writing this blog has led me to some rewarding reading.

Hello, This is Charley

Hello, this is Charley.  I am filling in for the host of this blog while he is on vacation.  Isn’t that the way it always works.  You have to wait for the man to give you some crumb of a chance, and when you do get it, no one is looking.  Everyone is out having a party, or returning clothes at Land’s End, but sure-as-shooting not reading this.  So I may as well say what I want.  He doesn’t control me.  And probably won’t be reading this either.

So I want to talk about cowboys.  That’s right, cowboys.  The kind that live on the range and boil coffee over a fire and cuss and punch guys who get out of line with the ladies.  Oops, someone just texted me, I gotta go.  Later.

Apparently there was a total lunar eclipse last night that was visible just about everywhere in North America if your conditions were right. I thought it was pretty hard to see it here in North Carolina at 3:17 am, from my bed, with my eyelids closed.
