Yesterday's birthday list was filled with great memories for me, today not so much. Gene Barry is the one movie star on the list and I certainly considered him for the Picture Slot. I also thought about Oh That Guy actor Will Patton, but instead we have Jeremy Sinden as Tiree (a.k.a. Gold Two) from the original Star Wars. Poor Mr. Sinden was barely luckier than the doomed X-wing pilot, dying at the tender age of 45 from lung cancer.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.

Predictions (reality):
1. In 100 years Denver will be as big as New York. (That's a swing and a miss.)
2. If the republic does not fall apart at the Mississippi, Canada will either be a part of the union or an independent sovereignty. (Canada is an independent nation now, so this counts as a hit.)
3. The north shore of the Gulf of Mexico will be the Riviera or the Americas. (Well, there are some nice vacation spots in Florida on the gulf coast and of course there is New Orleans, but the Texas shore and the heart of Dixie... not so much. If I were going to pick the top vacation spot in the U.S., it would be a three way split between Hawaii, Las Vegas or Orlando, which is in Central Florida not on either coast.)
4. The homes of the country will increase fourfold. (In 1890 there were about 12.7 million, and in 1990 it rose to 93.3 million, approximately a sevenfold increase.)
Footnote: I said yesterday no facial hair, but a little more digging using Wheeler's real name turned up a book he wrote with his picture on the cover. Definitely a fine 19th Century beard.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
It's been a while since we had our scheduled Sunday prediction of nuclear war, but we'll get one tomorrow.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Nuculer War on Father's Day. Subtle.
