The very best wishes to everyone on this short and rather dark day of sun.

Light will grow again from this day on, up here in the northern half, and light will start to wane in the southern half.

Many important celebrations will occur over the next quarter, including New Year for most (of those without a wandering one).

These days many (still) celebrate one of the oldest, the New (Year's) Day, from long before someone started messing with the calendar used by most by prefixing a few months leading to inconsistent names of months and moving the new year away from this season to its present strange place.

Almost halfway through the most thoroughly celebrated new year (second or third most populous (primary) new year), the day when everyone grows one year older.

No need to look for broken pieces, at least for quite a while.

Well, fortunately, some of my investors had read of the "Mayan prophicies," and it seemed that the city of Sirince, Turkey might be spared the end of times. We invested in a Holiday Inn there, and charged a rate, similar to a Bourbon St. suite in New Orleans, for Mardi Gras. We made out like bandits!

Now, not sure how the Mayans knew of an, otherwise obscure town in Turkey, but they made us a fortune. We then sold the Holiday Inn to the Russians, who claimed that the Incas predicted the end of the world, except of Sirince, Turkey, on Dec. 21, 2013. I wish them the same luck, that we had... Of course, if things DO end then, who cares, right?
