8.Like Somoza era, Nicaragua will star to have a period of calm, due to the strong grip of the government.

9. La Chayo finally will shave her armpit.

10. The party government leader will die.

1. Phil will be back on-line by May. Within one month, traffic on the site will decline by yet another 33%.

2. Tourism numbers will be noticeably higher than in 2010, comprised entirely of Nicaraguans who emigrated abroad, got thrown out of work, and have returned in a fruitless search for work.

3. Everyone will be nervous over the pre-election violence. The North American media will yet again give full play to isolated incidents of violence in Managua, ignoring the fact that the rest of Nicaragua continues to go about its business peacefully and productively.

4. Regardless of whether North America enters a double-dip recession, there will continue to be a decline in the number of expats who return and foreigners who settle here, as there has been during the current recession. A large proportion of the few who do re-locate here will leave within one year after experiencing the realities of everyday life.

5. Nicaragua will make important progress towards agricultural self-sufficiency. Bigshots from both the Sandinista and Liberale elites will continue to reap the benefits, and people from the poorer classes will continue to suffer from a sharp escalation in food prices, as they have in the past year.

6. People who don't live here, rarely visit, and and who don't understand what they see when they pass through, will continue to make predictions about the future of Nicaragua.

1. The truth will be known about the RSJ dredging and that it all started as an honest mistake by my friend Pastora who never could read a map. (Sorry Eden... :-)) The media is a fault of the entire mess.
2. The reliability of the electrical power will be further increased as soon as the larger storage tanks for the Electroleum are delivered. (The small ones on the power poles will all be removed and recycled.)
3. Phil? Phil who? When did he change his name to May? Next thing, Oh Swami, you are telling us he is NOT Toni Solo?
4. The Iranian and Russian Agents operating in Nicaragua will all be asked to go home and their posts will be filled by Nicaraguan's. (We will finally see the garbage trucks manned by Nicaraguan staff who will no longer throw most of the rubbish back on the street during pickup.)
5. Tourism will skyrocket as everyone will rush to Nicaragua to see the election here in person. (T-shirts with the print: "I was a Nicaraguan Election Observer" are being printed now.)
6. The only pre- election violence will be the election observers fighting to get a seat at Woody's in Managua.
7. North America will be double dipping as always and the recession will be just a small part of that.
8. Nicaragua will outperform the rest of the world as far as agricultural self sufficiency is concerned the moment the government stops giving piglets and chicks to people that eat them instead of using them to kick start their farm production.
9. Election results are only fuel for political discussion. Why mention them?
