The turkey trots to water

Dear Usual Suspects, unusual suspects, newcomers, casual visitors, critics and admirers of the journalistic craft, and sentient ammonia beings from the Planet Mxyzptlk:

Pls accept all best rgds for the new year from me, Czarina, and the Official Research Kitties. May you all deliver many a poke in the chops to the enemies of freedom, clarity, accuracy, random assignment to conditions and the series comma. Now signing off to admire the Blizzard* of Naught-Eight for a bit.

*Probly not, but it does have some thunder and rather a lot of snow.
