This year, guys who walked on the moon are trump. While John Glenn did not make that trip, he was the big media darling of the original Mercury Seven. Last year, I had a Syd Mead illustration in the Picture Slot and I might do that again next year, Mead's contribution to the look of the future is so influential, but there are some other choices I might go with instead.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.

Prediction: The Great Lakes will empty into the Gulf of Mexico in the 1958-1998 era.
Reality: If you wonder why no one talks about Edgar Cayce anymore, crap predictions like this are a big part of it. Yes, he knew enough geography to know the Great Lakes flow to the ocean through the St. Lawrence River, but he predicted massive changes at the tectonic plate level in the second half of the 20th Century and simply put, none of them happened. But there. It's hard to believe now how many people took him seriously back in the day.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
It's the weekend already and time to hear from our futurist pals from 1893 again.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
The Great Lakes will empty into the Gulf of Mexico in the 1958-1998 era.
ReplyDeleteI just checked. Still there.
I knew a much older couple that were fervent believers in Casey. I think they passed away without realizing how wrong he was. They were so sweet that I didn't have the heart to try and explain things to them.
