From the President of M.J. Macaluso & Associates, NYC

NEW YORK CITY (June 3, 2048): Overheard on air-locked crosstown anti-gravity hovercraft: "Did you see that new carbon fiber building on 15th Avenue and 14th Street, 3rd layer?" Response, "Nah, TOO busy this last time sequence to watch the construction over the river."

"Yeah. I heard that new Trump adhesive IS pretty hairy and can stick better than the old man skirting alimony payments."

"It's funny that I saw Coletti's kid bring on new sky adhesive technicians to glue up Desimone's members, with their Tomasetti jetpacks giving new meaning to the name, 'airhead.'"

"It's just crazy how things have changed. In the 20's, we were unwrapplng 120-story structural glass towers sent over from Afghanistan, and now we're Inflating a 200-story-plus with no end in sight. Fiberoptics control the airways and our ventilation systems have been taming wind power for years"

"Thank goodness for the George Lucas Foundation for developing this technology from the movie industry or we'd still be cracking hydro-carbons over the Governors Island Casino."

"After all is said and done, as much as things seems to change, the more same they appear to be."

"Just last week, I found my old copy of Guilianl's Inaugural Address, together with so many other memories did I wax poetic over his son's new zoning law, in New York, that permits adult entertainment in stationary submarines, anchored off the discharge vents under the Hudson River Waste Treatment Plant. It was something else, though, to see Rudy standing at home plate in the new Yankee Stadium, next to the old World Trade Center site. All in all it seems smut still stinks, Rudy still rules, and traffic albeit, three levels above the ground surface, is still slammed.
