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.
[A million points of light] [4] [5]
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!
