You're late for work because you forgot to set the alarm clock embedded in your forearm. Rushing out of bed, you give your family members, located thousands of miles away, a quick virtual hug, and hop into the car -- ordering your ape chauffeur to step on it. It's a stressful day, sure, but at least your vacation to the Moon is just a few days away.

That may not sound like a typical morning, but people thought it could have been. History is littered with predictions and future projections. Many of these are given with supreme confidence, before they fade conveniently into insignificance as they whiz wide off the mark.

Predictions for my day today
We're slow to start
But epic successes in the end!

House sitter set up for the day
Just in time for Mom and John
To arrive to grab me and head out
For Hamilton
With a quick pit stop at channel merchants.

Off for a christmas dinner party
And watch football.

Suddenly it was 8pm
And had been snowing for a bit.
Snow storm conditions on Mud Road 
And the highway all the way to Tilburg.
Such a L-O-N-G drive.

Home and got our cat sitter delivered,
Straightened up a bit,
Ate a cold piece of pizza
And now medicated for bed.

Good night from John Street
