The history channel

is annoying me lately. Every time I turn it on lately they're talking about Nostradamus, and often tying in his end time forecasts with the Book of Revelation or the Mayan calendar. Today they rolled out Isaac Newton's prediction that the world would end before 2060. The Nostradamus and Newton end of the world musings were both recorded in "recently discovered, long lost" volumes. Three phrases are repeated ad nauseam. "It is an intriguing possibility that..." "Some believe that..." and "Only time will tell...". I thought anything would be more interesting than Ice Road Truckers, just goes to show how wrong you can be. On the other hand certitude that the world will end in 2012 would certainly simplify our retirement planning. Hmmmm, maybe the mind control guys at the CIA have taken over the History Channel. and it's part of a sophisticated scheme to reinforce the population's senses of futility and indifference.

Janett and I are feeling really happy after the last month. Christmas was very nice and all our children are lovely, and our grandchildren are lovely, too.

LOL! The History Channel really does suck these days. PBS has great history programs though, if you can figure out when they are on.
