Merry Christmas to all from rainy Newport. This past year has been as hard as I can remember. Many times I found refuge here. Here's to a Happy New for us all.

Packing and preparation are done. Now to load up the car and hit the road. Two-day drive to Newport, to spend Christmas and New Years with the family still there. 30-degree delta in daytime highs. I can deal with that.

.. freeze dried meal .. Well, if you're going to pick on every little thing.. Seen the Eternals? What did you think?

.. motherships .. At least the Visitors were intelligent beings, Narciso. Sane and rational, in their own way. At this point, Newsom and the rest of the prog PTB seem little better than maniacs.

.. Idaho makes history .. Been quite busy of late, but one of the items on my 'in process' list is a move to Idaho. Have a son and DIL in Boise, as of last December. They give the town and state high marks.

.. a nice part of Santa Monica .. In the late '50s, all of SaMo, hell, the whole west side, was nice. .. I hear parts of Florida are nice.
Jane, Narciso ...of course :D

Thanks, MM. Was wondering if I had somehow forgotten how to do a simple internet search :/ The number who watched Biden must have been so low that to reveal it would have cast doubt on the election in the minds of some of those currently fooled. And convinced others who were already wondering.

Could not google the ratings for Biden's SOTU speech. Ratings for Trump's SOTU's came up, Biden's personal approval ratings.. nothing about ratings for Thursday's SOTU. Were they that bad? Has anyone seen them?

Effect of the first Pfizer shot was fatigue for a day or so, plus a strange upper arm pain that came and went in about a minute. Getting the second one Wednesday, will see what happens.

I had to look it up ... an actual rock! 'Strange new respect' for Ms Kennedy if she opposes this new take of Favreau's, as I hear.

GUS, had one of those. Had to stop it in the middle to get my mind right. Brrr!

That's great, Matt. So much complicated work, such complex organization, to make these modern systems function..

.. Claustrophobia .. I know what you mean, MM. The last part of the training was in a decommissioned sub with a live reactor. People who can't deal with that go to the Carriers.

GUS, take heart. There were never more than a few, the shepherds, the guard dogs. As long as we are ready to do our work when the time comes, all will be well. For my granddaughter's part, wherever the Michigan goes, the reactor will be online.

Personal note My granddaughter had finished the last of her 2 years of training for the Navy, and is a newly-minted 'Machinists Mate - Nuclear'. She just got her orders: for the USS Michigan, Ohio Class submarine, out of Puget Sound. The Michigan is one of the boats modified for cruise missiles and special ops support. It's a great assignment. She is over the moon.
