Predictions

Detail of a Red Caboose, Old Depot, Village of Lewisburg, Ohio  © Doug Hickok


It is fashionable to make dire predictions these days.... e-book readers will bring an end to books... according to some the world will end in 2012... global warming will drown half the world's population. But I have my own dire prediction. Beginning today, at 4:58 pm everything will turn into an old red caboose. I know I am no Nostradamus, but I have a really strong feeling. So get ready to don your overalls and engineer's cap, and go for a ride.

    Seems there's a lot of people already in the caboose. Is that 4:58 your time or our time?

    lol, man... I was trying so hard to figure out what I was looking at. I really liked the image, it's abstract in a way, the color is way cool. I just couldn't make out what it was! A caboose. I see!

    And you know, I'm not worried about turning into one. I've been called a caboose my whole life - to put it nicely :)

    stunning colors and shapes - and a really plausible prediction!!! ;-))) or at least as plausible as all the others that have been made before ...
