Predictions for 2008

Oh 8 is upon us so, grin and bare it whatever the blessing or curse may be.
With the price of gas trying to catch up with a gallon of sweet milk, it is going to put a lot more people in the poor house. There is plenty of room for everybody so come on in.
Having heard and read several predictions for Oh 8, some good, some not, others cause concern for worry.
Should the price of petrol go to four bucks a gallon, yours truly would not be surprised because those over yonder are out to ruin this great nation.
Who will win the Super Bowl? Have not watched the first game and don’t know who is playing; Texans and Cowboys?
Rick Perry will be tapped to Vice President of the United States. Since it’s a do nothing job, he’ll fit right in.

Border crossings back into Mexico will increase with the return of unemployed housing laborers.
Real estate prices will continue to decline throughout the year and repossessions will continue at record pace.
Interest rates will continue to drop somewhere from a quarter to two percent.
As the price of petrol increases many independent businesses will shut their doors; from body shops to real estate and related companies. Many staff reductions are forth coming.
Grocery stores to hardware stores will be increasing prices due to the high price of petrol especially diesel, and will layoff personnel. Look about your house and you will notice about every thing in your house is delivered by a truck.
Also associated with rising petrol prices are school tax increases to pay for the petrol used in the thousands and thousand of school buses. One thing for sure back when I walked to school, walking wasn’t crowded. Of course with some of today’s kids, they have to be bussed because some kids don’t have enough sense to get out of the street much less the rain.
Restaurants will continue to serve smaller portions and increase the price of everything on the menu.
The Writers Guild will go to the wayside, same way the air traffic controllers did. And to think all this time, I thought Bob Hope came up with his own jokes. Thanks for the memories anyway.
One major car dealership in Baytown will close.
Stainless steel appliances will no longer be the trend since current owners have found out they are hard to keep clean and rid of fingerprints. Good health will be the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Mad-cow-disease is located among millions of cows in America but we haven’t a clue as to how to locate millions of illegal immigrants or a terrorist. The Department of Agriculture will be in charge of immigration.
