Welcome New Readers

And welcome back to some of my regulars as well. I plan to try to keep Saturday light; however, the world may have something to say about that. I hope it doesn’t, but that it will do so seems the safe way to bet these days.

I also want to welcome my new readers in Moscow, Beijing, and DC. To the person in Beijing, I don’t know who you pissed off to draw this assignment, but at least it’s better than trying to pull coherent thoughts out of Biden’s ramblings. Given all I’ve had to say about Putin, Biden, and Xi, fully expect to get a cologne tester in the mail that makes me do the twitching chicken or to find classified materials or worse in the system.

For those who feel I give a lot of reasons not to sleep, here’s another. Our amazing vice president of the custom knee pads is one heartbeat away from being president. Frankly, that should scare everyone at home and abroad.

It’s cold here today and I plan to stay inside, do laundry, and other mundane tasks. The body is not happy with the weather changes, even though warmer is on the way.
