It’s like a shiny new penny, or snow that hasn’t been peed on, or walked in.
We had a good year around here, for which we are thankful. We’re also thankful it’s over, and we survived it. I’ll probably always think of 2020 as a skidmark on the underpants of American history.

I got this one almost a year ago, and finally decided to show it off.

Just in case I get lazier and don’t do another blog post this month, thank you for reading. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and God Bless you and yours.

God Bless what’s left of America. Let us never forget — by never forgetting, may we not be doomed to repeat.
