Well the 21st December came and went without so much as a whimper. There was no volcanic eruptions, no tidal waves, no earthquakes, no meteors crashing into the planet, no nuclear holocaust, no solar flares knocking out satellites, no switching of the Earth’s magnetic poles, no breakdown of law and order, no black hole ripping open the fabric of space and time: nothing!
Except rain.
It’s almost as big a let down as all the fuss over the Y2K problem. There’s an old Chinese curse that goes along the lines of “May you live in interesting times!”
Merry Christmas!
