Happy Boxing Day * . . .
* In the U.K., Boxing Day is the day after Christmas. One of many ‘origin’ stories says that this is the day that merchants gave boxes of food and fruit to tradespeople and servants as a form of Yuletide tip.

At 11 am it’s still 37 degrees here. It’s supposed to get all the way up to 46 today, and then back down to 31 tonight.
As an article in the New York Times said today, “Bundle up. It’s Global Warming.” Of course they blame the pretty much world-wide cold snap on the fact that it’s getting warmer.
Huh?
So, if it’s getting warmer, it’s global warming, and, if it’s getting colder, it’s global warming.
Yeah, right! Nothing like covering all your bases.
Jan and I never left the rig today. It was really nice to just sit around, read, nap, watch TV, enjoy the view, did I mention nap?
And as part of enjoying the view, our friend the Great Blue Heron was back,
along with another beautiful sunset.
That was about it for today. Looks like things will pick up again tomorrow. We’ll see.
More then…
