***NOTE***
The following predictions are for entertainment purposes only. We do not claim them to be true or do we caim to be clairvoyant. Any predictions that do happen are strictly coincidental.
With that said, first we will take a look at how we did last year with our predictions.
For the politicl predictions we came right on target that President Clinton would not get impeached, however there was no other major scandal that would have Gore fill in for him. We also didn't go to war with Iraq. As for the terrorist act, it never happened. But things did come close in January in Seattle. We were a little more on target with Mother Nature. There was a major earthquake on the west coast in September. It hit a small town in California. There was little damage. Scientists did discover another solar system and another planet.  We were off base with weather and Hurricanes they were not mild and some were damaging. Music, Madonna didn't make a new album we were a year early with that prediction. None of the groups that we listed broke up. Hell in fact we failed on all of the music predictions except for the Abba prediction. Believe it or not, Abba did reunite in June. They sang a happy birthday song to a mutual friend. However, it did not result in them recording a new album. We failed on entertainment miserably. And we also failed on our Seattle predictions and we were only half right on our Y2K predicitons. Oh well there's always this year.
