My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
Winter
weather continues. Chilly, cloudy with snow expected late tonight.
UK PM Boris
Johnson is in trouble over parties during lockdown. Now, to shift attention from

publisher have not yet arrived. This supply change mess is not enjoyable. I
sure hope it gets fixed soon and that it doesn’t lead to more inflation.
Have a great
weekend.
