It’s been too cold to think, so with frozen brains comes writer’s freeze, I guess!  Actually, it’s too cold to go anywhere photogenic.  The combination of the more contagious omicron variant plus the pre-xmas insanity of mobs ignoring it provides even less incentive to go out for any reason other than necessities.  We’re stocked up and ready to watch the virus-fest from a warm, safe distance through New Year’s.  Apparently 2020 hindsight doesn’t apply to 2021 or ’22.

Misu concurs, from the highest, warmest perch she can find.  The good news is, after today (Winter Solstice) the days get longer, if not warmer.
