Thanks as always to The Other McCain, Pirate’s Cove, Bacon Time, and The Daley Gator for the Rule Five links!

I don’t have too much to say on this wintry Alaska Boxing Day, except this:  Merry (belated) Christmas to you all, and may your 2023 be happy, healthy, and profitable.  It’s been a… different sort of year, but I’m reminded as I look out the window that, no matter what happens in the world of Man, Alaska is always there, patiently waiting just outside the office door.  There’s something outside your door, too; keep that in mind as we roll into 2023, with all the weirdnesses and headaches that will no doubt come along.  Take an even strain!

Come back tomorrow for the resumption of regular posts.
