Greetings Citizens and Welcome to 2024!

You wake up after a long sleep, finding yourself in a strange place! Everything is familiar and yet... different. There are jetpacks! Flying cars! World peace has been achieved! There are even franchise coffee shops on Mars...

Still, something doesn't seem right. You look at the window and feel a sense of unease. Maybe it's something in the air, or the horse sitting on a bench reading a newspaper. Either way, something's definitely afoot!

Do you...

A) Assume it's a dream and go back to bed.
B) Go looking for a jetpack. What could possibly go wrong?
C) Call your local radio station and complain about the horse problem.

Tune in next month to find out!
