Overheard at the Golden Crane

  • Male customer: I was a serious hippie, let me tell you. I lived in a tipi for two years.


  • Rhetta (my coworker): Yeah? Well I lived in a tipi and I got married in a tipi...in buckskins!


  • Customer (smiling): You win. Man, weren't the seventies great?


  • Rhetta: From what I remember, yes.



Ever wonder what they'll say about the "oughties?"
  • Remember the Iraq War?

  • Yeah, the one we all ignored while we paid attention to pregnant celebrities instead? Those were the days!


In all seriousness though, I predict that learning foreign languags will be de rigeur; people will grow their own food in gardens (possibly out of necessity); and reading books will make a comeback. At least that's what I want for my future. And it won't be bad at all.
