57 more minutes for me

Perhaps it does not signify the end of the world but the end of the Mayans...or perhaps they just didn't care to look any further ahead. :-)

Maybe this will be the last post?

Even better than all that rubbish boys........
It's the shortest day of the year, it's 10 to eight in the morning
Here and still dark. It's all downhill from here Summer's on it's way
Wooooooooohoooooooo.

Sorry you Aussies.
But on your flip side I guess you're quite warm at the moment
And not even thinking about Winter...

I guess we made it, unless I'm the only one left. Maybe it's not a 'Good Day To Die', but it's a good day to FLY! Fire them up Boys!

My theory about the Mayan Calendar predicting the end of the world is as follows:
About 1,500 years ago, the Mayan King promoted his best hunter, Quetzl, from killing Howler Monkeys and Jaguars with a blow gun and bows and arrows to working on the calendar stone. After about 200 Full Moons, Quetzl, goes to the King and tells him he's tired of chipping on that big ass rock and that he wants to retire on one of those cool condos near the top of the pyramid. After all, Mayan Land has a dead of the winter temp of about +94F, and he has gotten as far as Dec 21, 2012 on the calendar and he really doesn't even know what that means ! Besides the condo is near where they keep the virgins and those green leaves you chew to make you numb, and they also have that stuff called chockolate from those goofy tree pods!!
Fast forward about 1,500 years and some discouraged archeologist type who is broke and unpublished, and totally ticked since his classmates all grabbed on the Global Warming deal and got rich from gov't grants, finds Quetzl's calendar. The next thing he knows he's got a big time book deal and has hit all the talk shows including Oprah !
All this Dec 21, 2012 stuff is because honest old Quetzl said to heck with it !!!
That's my theory and I'm sticking with it !!! Steve

I'm good with that....

And now we know the rest of the story. Thanks, Malibu. Anybody that calls himself 66 Malibu can't be wrong.

Yup -- sounds like a reasonable conclusion to me.

Now that the Mayan Calendar Hysteria is over, don't think that a race of people like the Mayans, and, for that matter the Incas, who have been extinct for 10 centuries are finally out of your life !!
Did you know that a self proclaimed Mayan decendant was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Art and Culture in 2011? His name is Leonardo di Venezuela and he was nominated for his significant paintings. It's reported that he once painted life size murals and caricatures on 14 Norfolk & Southern boxcars with only one $3.98 can of Wal-Mart spray paint !!
He didn't win the Nobel Prize but the New York Times presented him with a Lifetime Achievement Award !!!
So the next time you are stopped at a railroad crossing by a 400 car freight train, don't let your mind wonder, look for Leonardo's famous work !!!!! Feel free to use these "facts" at your next Holiday party but don't be surprised that the uninformed of the World think that you are off your medications !!
Seriously, I hope my "observations" maybe have brought a little levity and maybe even a smile to make your Christmas Season a little happier !!!!!!
Merry Christmas , Steve....
