I asked a question on X last night that seems to me to be pretty relevant, all things being equal and in light of current events.
I know everyone was busy getting ready for the New Year in one way or the other. If you were like us, you were dreading the local eruption of WWIII munitions around 9 pm, staying up ’til 3 with a wigged out dog, and wondering how far away the booms and crackles had driven the ferals outside, and what time New Year’s Day you finally see them. Other folks get to go out and enjoy themselves, visit with friends, or even have a normal evening – all in anticipation of sleeping in a little later than usual, and hoping for a better year than the disaster in our rearview mirror.
