Well, let's see...2020 has had plague, pestilence, fires, hurricanes...

...anything missing? Well, earthquakes. I'm confidently expecting a Big One any day... ...maybe I shouldn't have watched *San Andreas* the other night. And if the UFOs are ever going to land--though, please God, *not* on the White House lawn--it will be this year. Have I missed anything?
