Christmas and thereafter

Our Christmas went well. We sent Christmas Eve at a friend's place. It was real fun.

We've been having a lot of bad luck lately with cars. I've decided that the most reliable form of transportation here in the winter is dog team. They don't break down. It doesn't matter how cold it is, they always start - you don't even need to plug them in all night and jump-start them in the morning. They don't let you down. They don't just run out of gas. They definitly don't get stuck. They don't need oil changes, they don't blow headlights, and they don't grind gears. Their transmissions don't blow. They get you to where you need to go, dependably. All they need is love.
