I just drove my car around the block to make sure the battery was still charged.

posted a photo on Facebook describing this year. She's a server at a bar, and she posted a picture of "If 2020 were a beer", and the glass was completely filled with foam.

... but I'm curious:

How would that work?

Can we build a gigantic time machine that will transport the whole universe forwards 6 months?

What if we put everyone on Earth into suspended animation until November 3rd. Then, only Americans are awakened just long enough to vote before they are put back under until January 1st.

There's an astronomical theory that there could be a grapefruit-sized black hole somewhere on the outer edges of our solar system, perhaps in the Kuiper Belt. Could it suddenly start to expand and begin Hoovering up our solar system? Oh, wait. That would kill everybody which is, coincidentally, Trump's plan, sort of.

How about if everyone in the world just agrees that tomorrow is January 1st? Would that do it? (Actually, trying to get the whole world to agree on something would take longer than the 6 months to get to January.)

Oh, well. I guess we'll just have to slog through the coming months. Sorry. (wink)
