Ahh, it only get worse in the future.

They eliminated analog TV.

2g wireless will be history ("can do my iFaceBook on that slow a

Overbuilding means less ability for groundwater to be absorbed, thus

only goes down when the sun is out ;)

Other than that, we all have a lot to be optimistic about!
