January 2 - Rejoice, Rejoice Greatly


The sun has risen, the fog cleareth for the first time in the new yeareth.



Up on the housetop I do go. So, how does the local scenery square up to recent times on the road? Pretty good. Pretty great, indeed, although we do have to put up with a bit of cold low stratus and rain this time of year (so, today's not a fair comparison, after all). Fairly small price to pay.



And pay my dues of the day, preparing for publication
