Last year was fun, and getting to look back & review. So, with that said onto 2018:

1 Biggest one for me, on 12/31/18 Mike Pence will be President. As how how/why/when it occurs I dunno, I just predict on Dec 31st he will be.
2 Uhmmm, movies are bleh. Not even Solo is epic.
3 GnR ends their tour, and only leaves a last tweet or message on their website thanking fans etc, but is vaguely cryptic enough that us forum nerds read into it just like 'soon', 'How many Tuesdays left' and other things we've read into (All Duffs twitter pics in various studios).
4 Tom Brady ends his career with an injury, NE misses the playoffs.
5 Bitcoin starts to legitimize itself, dabbling more into a 'World currency'.
6 Around Labor Day, stocks slowly begin to stagnate & inch downwards. Time to invest in safer funds for 2-3 years.
7 Retail stores like Macys JC Penny Sears etc have their last Black Friday.
8 Another big chain is killed off due to Amazon.
9 LeBron James leaves Cleveland again as a free agent. If LA can build up a good enough team around him he goes there, otherwise just another supergroup (Oklahoma City or Sixers?)
