They may kill this post because it is completely not about music, but we have a great cross section of people here from every part of the world, every age, different income levels, different walks of life.....
It is often asked as a sociological question "What superpower would you like to have?"
I am going to take that in another direction.
I will decide that the superpower is the ability to see accurately and exactly into the future. The question is if you could choose between seeing 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months or 1 year into the future, which would you choose?
Would you want to know that in one year you will die, and have to decide if you are going to spend that year mending fences or tearing them down? Would you like to have 364 days to worry about what is going to happen on that 365th day? Would you like to know if your significant other will be leaving you at some point during that year? That someone close to you may die?
I know my position is that I prefer that every day be a gift and a surprise. I think it would ruin the spontaneity of life to know even a minute in advance what is coming next. But that's just my perspective.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023?
2. Send it to us.

That is the way I think also. I don’t want to know what will happen in the future.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Eddie, such a book or road-map, a GPS, does exist. It's prophecies have been flawless for centuries past. Why should we doubt the few yet to be fulfilled? This book foretold the fall of Babylon over 200 years in advance, even naming the conqueror, Cyrus, the Mead, and exactly how it would be accomplished We are encouraged by this book's accuracy in foretelling events which should instill confidence in what it has to say about the future. What book of prophecies can you name that has been 100% accurate?
Naming that book would surly get us banned sadly enough but I would love to continue via personal email.

Don, I am familiar in concept with what you are saying but a book that was written centuries before I was born can't know what will happen to be specifically. I will buy that given the cyclic nature of history that the future can somewhat be predicted. The USA became involved with a way at almost predictable intervals, which some allege was an economic plan. The war machine creates jobs for soldiers and industries supporting soldiers and when the economy started to sag, the country went to war. WWII to Korea, Korea to Vietnam, Vietnam to the Gulf....
Imagine being a soldier with that power. If you know you are going to be killed tomorrow, how likely are you to go into that battle knowing how it ends? That leads to a bigger issue of how someone might be able to change history if they know the future.

Ditto!
But I think there is a song somewhere in your question Eddie.

Basic
Information
Before
Leaving
Earth

Wouldn't want that power.
The Book gives me enough to know how to act today. And it also says that I can't know THE future event in specifics but to be ready TODAY. When people tell you they know the specifics, that's when they've gone off the rails.

I have a special super power that allows me to know what happened in the past. It works best for things that are closer in time to the present.

The late Jimmy Stewart once remarked that, in his old age, he found that he spent a lot of time thinking about the hereafter.
He said that he would enter a room, stand there for a minute with a dumb look on his face and then say, "W-w-what did I come hereafter?"

On the plus side...I make new friends every day. And every morning I remember that I hate oatmeal.

Don, you can hide your own easter-eggs, see a new view out of your window every day and you can even hide your own easter-eggs!
OT: I definitely don't want to see into the future. That would mean that I can't make a difference no matter what I do.

I just want most of my hearing back. Balance would be nice too. Then my old voice. And my wife to retire.

But that is getting BACk cfom the past, John. This is about knowing the future.
You make a good example of the thread. Did your hearing loss start due to normal aging or was there an event that caused it? If so, had you known, you could have avoided that event.
I want to know one thing ahead of time. I want to know if anybody attends my funeral and what they are saying.

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
