10) Trump survives;
9) Biden survives;
8) A large bomb doesn’t go off somewhere in the U.S.
7) We avoid a technical malfunction (sabotage). which causes a disruption of electricity or the internet;
6.) Trump and Biden aren’t hospitalized;
5.) Lesta Holt isn’t arrested;
4) Jimmy Carter survives (easy one);
3.) Gas prices don’t hit $5.00 a gallon;
2.) I go to a movie theater this year (haven’t since 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I think); and

I would expect for Lester Holt and Jimmy Carter, that those two are OK. The rest of them are moors more or less obligatory given the current climate in the USA.
BUD HARRELSON LEAVES THE EARTHLY MET'S ROSTER AT 79
(athletic)Bud Harrelson,stalwart shortstop for the '69 Mets and the only person in uniform for both of their championships,passed away Thursday from Alzheimers at the age of 79.
After signing with the Mets in 1963,he became their opening day shortstop in 1967--and stayed there for 11 seasons.
Harrelson’s worth was maybe clearest in 1973 when the “Ya Gotta Believe” Mets surged from last place to first place in the final five weeks of the season.
Harrelson had missed a month that summer, which coincided with the team’s deepest struggles of the season. His return helped catalyze the Mets’ comeback.
And of course, his most memorable moment as a Met came that fall, in Game 3 of the 1973 National League Championship Series, when he and Pete Rose brawled after Rose slid hard into second base on a double play. The slight Harrelson taking on Rose served as a microcosm for the underdog Mets’ performance against the heavily favored Reds, whom they upset in five games to win the pennant.
“That’s a good game for me to sit around and think about,” Harrelson told Newsday in 2008. “I don’t remember the score, but I remember every little thing about the fight.”
“He wasn’t a big guy, but he was a fierce competitor. He was a battler,” Shamsky said. “He was the consummate team player.”

I just wanted to say,my mom passed away today.She was a living saint and we both fought the fight to have her feel better for the last many months-surprising doctors with her resilience.
A nurse came over today and said she was probably weeks away from the final stage.Four hours was more like it.I came home from the store and went to check on her,I talked to her--she seemed okay--and then she quickly,peacefully passed--of natural causes--I guess.This,in spite of her vital signs and everything being normal earlier.It was nothing painful.She was--and I told her this--the best person I ever knew--and I'll miss her.
