Prediction for 2001

[DEC. 30, 2000]  In response to a recent invitation to readers, LDN received a poetic prediction for the new year.

Freezing cold this day

    In the month of December;

I predict that this summer

    You'll scarcely remember!

 

We tend to adapt

   To situations and weather;

I predict that we'll make it

    If we all stick together.

 

We all came through counting

   The chad and each dimple;

I predict the coming year

    Should be pretty simple.

 

The gas may go up

    And the Market come down;

But we'll weather it all —

    Come through safe and soun'.

 

We're Americans, you know,

    And we are God's own creation;

I predict we'll be proud

    Of our country — OUR NATION!

                          —Maxine Seggelke

STILL WATERS

New Year’s Day

I wonder what year it is

By Mike Fak

[DEC. 30, 2000]  The debate over whether the Times Square ball will signal the demise of the 20th century and the second millennium A.D. has caused a great deal of disagreement among the world’s scholars. Many, including England’s Royal Academy, claim the century and millennium will officially end this Dec 31 and not last year as so many of us ill-informed seemed to have believed. Others in the world of academia, especially some mathematicians, claim that series of numbers, including centuries and millennia, start at zero and progress. Thus we were correct in our lavish celebrations last New Year’s Eve. Well, "forgive me" to both groups of theorists of our world’s temporal calendar, but a look into history shows they both are wrong. Sort of.
