Emory Schley: Good riddance to the old one, hello to the new one

Well, here we are! Welcome to a brand, spanking new year. It’s hard to believe the 21st century is already 20 percent behind us! When I was a young lad, the 21st century always seemed so far in the future to me. It was a time I envisioned as filled with flying cars and death rays and vacations on the moon and lots of other cool stuff! We haven’t quite attained that level of technology yet, but we’re rapidly closing in on it. Small children of today will more than likely see all those dreams and more come to fruition before the century is even half-gone.
