The reason [Marty] sets the DeLorean to Oct. 21, 2015? It’s the day 30
years in the future when the Cubs are predicted to win the World Series.
Bob Gale, who scripted the 1985 original with Robert Zemeckis, said that he
tried to figure out when the final game of the Series would have played: “I
did my homework as a baseball fan.”

But the Cubs
are down three games and we still don't have hover
boards.
Sigh.
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
