Keep the season bright

Nothing like a little blazing fire to keep the holidays warm.

Over the last few days, New England was hit hard by ice storms. Fortunately, all we got was a lot of rain. So we're happy to have warmth and electricity while so many others are struggling to make do.

So what's on everyone's Christmas list?

This week's cartoon probably goes best with musical accompaniment. As the subject line suggests, I reccomend Led Zeppelin's "The Immigrant Song." Though I am sure you folks can come up with better ideas.

Last Saturday started out with snow, followed by sleet, then freezing rain. By the time it was done, everything was a solid, frozen mass. I'm still working on getting the driveway cleared.

More later.
