                       Merry Christmas and all that jazz
                                        
It was a quiet, laid back day today. Many presents were exchanged (and the
“Most Amusing Present” goes to my friend Hoade who sent me _I Could Tell You
But Then You Would Have To Be Destroyed By Me: Emblems From The Pentagon's
Black World_ [1], which are military patches for top secret projects and yes,
Area 51 [2] is referenced quite often, although the most amusing patch (to
me) is a blank black patch, with the text, in black on black letters along
the top “IF I TELL YOU” and in black on black letters cross the bottom, “I
HAVE TO KILL YOU”—I tell you, it's comedy gold [3]) and much food was eaten.

This evening, Bunny, her mom and I then drove around to look at the various
souls spending what's left of their money in electrical bills.

Very pretty, but very expensive no doubt. Not even the cities are doing
anything this extravagant this year.

Other than that, I wish all my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
Year!
