    I am somewhat of a rarity - A Tucsonan that was actually born in Tucson, Az. Other than one semester of college at Northern Arizona University where I learned I don't like snow, always lived in the Tucson valley and consider myself a certified desert rat. I enjoy reading and writing many different styles and genre, from political satire to mindless theater. Sometimes I write with a message in mind, sometimes I don't. When I'm not writing I enjoy traveling, photography, riding motorcycles, building and flying model aircraft and trying new stuff. You can find more about me and find out about new releases on Facebook by looking up Renaissance Redneck Media. I hope you get something from my writings, even if it is just a laugh. Thanks for reading.

      Futurecaster

      I always knew my son would kill me. What makes that statement truly strange is that I knew it before I even met his mother. Sorry for the confusion, I guess a bit of background is in order.

      According to my mother, I have always been good at math. To hear her tell it I was adding numbers before I even learned to speak. While I can’t confirm that, I do remember always being bored in math class because it went too slow. In my boredom I discovered Greek myths. What particularly fascinated me was any story involving the Oracles. How cool would it be to be able to predict the future?

      One evening when I was about 13, I was watching the news with my dad and the weather forecaster came on. I realized that the guy was using mathematical models to predict if it would rain tomorrow, and I started to wonder if the same could be done for predicting future events other than weather. The more I learned about weather prediction, the more convinced I became that my idea would work. It was mostly just looking at past patterns and then running statistics to make an educated guess. I spent hours looking for patterns in history. By the way, you know that saying about not learning from history? I can prove that statement. I studied meteorology in college to get a better idea of how the prediction computers worked.

      After years of study and work, I had a model that gave predictable results. Just
