That's OK. If I may: instead, read A Psalm for the Wild Born. The author is Becky Chambers. It's sci-fi, but very philosophic, soft sci-fi. Sort of Ray Bradbury-esque in a more modern and relatable way. Beautiful and interesting, I truly loved it. Very quick read as well. I think it should be on 9th grade required reading lists everywhere. We'd have a more thoughtful society.

Thanks! I am always looking for new books to read, hence why my holds list is always full..😭😂🤣😵‍💫🥴😜
 
I will be on a train at 6:00 p.m., and by 7:00 p.m. I will be picking up the best strip-mall Chinese takeout food in the world, seasoned with MSG and family tension. Lord, I love the people who run that place. I could listen to their bickering flavor my chicken all night long! By 8:00 p.m. I hope to be playing cards and eating egg rolls with my wife and kids, and probably losing badly, but hey. That's NYE.
 
Don't forget: At 23:59:56 tonight, lift up your left leg, and hold it up for five seconds, until 00:00:01.

That way, you can start 2026 on the right foot.

Now, can we get 6,000 in 7 hours? I doubt it.

I think we should prorate, though, for the several weeks were out, and call it 6,000.
 
It's snowing pretty good tonight. I don't know how much accumulation and I don't care. I'm in for the night.
 
Watching a performance of Second City improv show tonight.

The only things falling here are leaves and vehicle speeds when they hit our corporate boundaries. Our Police will pull you over and give tickets at 5 over…
 
The Avengers Movie Endgame opening music is Traffic's Mr Fastasy
 
I'm watching a cooking show with Julia Child and Jacques Pepin. She just joked and said "horse ovary" for hors d'oeuvres.
 
Oldest is not thrilled with us. He wanted to go to a bowling alley in another community tonight with people we don’t know and would be on the road after midnight.

We told him that it wasn’t a good idea.

Good decision. He may be secretly relieved.
