Sundown on the Ottawa River

Yes, it's Friday!

Okay, maybe I shouldn't be excited about it being the end of the work week, primarily because I'm not working. Nevertheless there are many who are. I'm feeling happy for them. It's starting to snow heavily here; probably 20 or more centimeters or about 8 inches, of cold, white powdery flakes, by tomorrow. Winter; it's just too long.

China has had it's worst winter in fifty years. Millions are affected, and hundreds of thousands wishing to travel for the Chinese New Year, are stranded at railways with no trains running. Listen China; if your leader plans on making a New Year's resolution, he can start by paying a little more money out for snow removal then pay some more to the common worker. Anyway, best wishes and have a Happy New Year. Happy birthday to all you rats by the way, since I heard it's your year. How can being a rat be a good thing? I suppose it's a step up from being a snake.
