    I was directing work towards WA state so I could get back in time for our first daughters birth

    6 days later I was able to be the first person to hold my little baby girl (except the doctor, he wouldn't let me pull it out).

    Somebody predicted the end of the world and it didn't happen?

    ...or did it?...

    My guess is you’re referring to how the Dow Jones closed at an all-time high on Oct 9, 2007. That was of course followed by the crash that caused the 2008 economic recession that we are still feeling today. I’m assuming you’re using that to make a point about how the stock market gains in this fledgling Trump era shouldn’t be celebrated yet because it could be foreshadowing another crash.

    Flo Rida released the song of the year for 2008.
    “Conscientiously believing that the proper condition of the negro is slavery, or a complete subjection to the white man, and entertaining the belief that the day is not distant when the old Union will be restored with slavery nationally declared to be the proper condition of all of African descent, and in view of the future harmony and progress of all the States of America, I have been induced to issue this address, so that there may be no misunderstanding in the future”

    He’s a hip hop artist from Florida, so he made his stage name Flo Rida.
