99

Wayne Gretzky, the interstate highway that runs north-south in Pennsylvania from I-76 in Bedford to I-80 in State College, bottles of beer on the wall, 99-cent stores, and now the current number of days left in the countdown. Here's to you, 99. What a number you are! And I would like to take this moment to congratulate time, that often forgotten fourth dimension in our universe, that unstoppable force that cannot be contained (unless you're travelling at light-speed). Without it, we never would have trekked from 365 to 99 so soon.
