He was far more then a nut. So far he gets my vote for the worst pres ever. Quiet! Nixon, Carter and Hoover may hear you!

They've started advertising by stenciling on the sidewalks here. Are they doing that where any of you are yet?

I haven't seen it, but new things take awhile to show up in my little pipsqueak of a town. Are you going to take pictures when you're photographically equipped again?

I do have a camera that I can take a photo of it with. If I remember to take it with me the next time I go to town I'll do that and post it.

Yeah, I'd like to see that too..my god, the Fight Club film was right. When we go out into space it really will be "Planet Starbucks" and other such monikers for planets.

In the year 3,000 the police might start responding to calls again. My last call was spring or summer of last year and still on one showed up and it wasn't for a trivial matter.

Perhaps by then poverty will be a thing of the past, our city services, schools and other necessary things will have the proper funding they need and people will all get a fair shake... or it may take several thousand more years before that happens.

This should be this way already and it really upsets me that it isn't. Public transportation bus seats should indicate when they are wet!It happened to me again. On the bus coming home I sat on a bus seat that was wet. You know what the greatest chance of it being is (rhetorical)? I think that it is a major health problem. Why isn't anyone doing anything about it? I wish that we had a legitimate government that actually worked.

Yuck, sorry to hear about that. It would be worth it to bring something to put on public seats before using them. Seat covers that turn a certain color if a certain liquid is on them would be helpful and shouldn't be beyond scientific possibility.

In the year 3000 it will be discovered that the Skull & Bones Society has the remains of Osama bin Laden and displays it along with using it for rituals along with the remains of Geronimo. Geronimo was Osama bin Laden's code name.

I am seeing more synthetic shirts in the stores this year. When are the pants going to catch on? I love my nylon pants in the summer heat but there is not a very good selection of them. I think that the industry leads people more so then vice-a-versa. Cotton is already established and set up and stock piled and bla-bla-bla

Yeah, I'm sure that the industry does tend to lead fashion. The rise in synthetic shirts should be a good sign that synthetic pants may be more popular too.
In the year 3000, people can go to a place with instant clothing machines that will take their measurements, then be able to make clothes in the style and with type of cloth wanted, all for a reasonable price.

That would be nice I see that those shoes with the toes built into them are catching on here. Do you see more of them there?

I've seen one or two pairs. There's probably more in your area. They are interesting and look comfortable.

In the year 3,000 we will have those knives like they show in Hitchers Guide to the Universe that toasts the bread while you are cutting it. When I seen that I thought that is a great idea ;D
When is this country going to start using toast racks? They kind of seem somewhat necessary to me but I can't complain to much be cause I don't have one yet. I always been meaning to get one.
