Making Predictions

It’s easy to predict the past; we’re all expert at that.
And it’s not that hard to predict the distant future: events intervene, nature interrupts, people forget.
Ah, but predicting the near future — that’s where the game gets rough. And that’s why so few experts risk it.
I'm no expert. I'm gonna risk it. Starting Monday, I'm going to make five predictions, one per day. All will come true or not within the next twelve months, most of them considerably sooner.
Most of my predictions go against the experts you see on the national news. They're experts; I'm not. They've got credentials; I don’t. You'll know soon which of us is right and which got it wrong, wrong, wrong.
Stay tuned.
