FUTURE

                                                            1990
One of my sisters once told me 
that the world is catching up
to me.  I'm getting
progressively less weird by
standing still...
      
alchohol and drugs in general            (Well, as of 6/25/93, it looks 
are going out of style,                   like I *might* be right about 
                                          alcohol, but psychedelics 
science fiction has become                are back in.) 
mainstream,            
                       
rock climbing is more common,
                       
everyone listens to punk rock
(though it's not called that)
                       
microcomputers are no longer 
unusual 
       
So, starting with this
principle as my guide,       ("As doom    
what next?                   goes, so goes
                             the country")
