1. Background music is Cowboy Junkies. This clip was featured on D.U. several days ago. I watched and

listened.

Cowboy Junkies is playing one town over in February. I wasn't going to go but listening to them on the clip, I went to the theater webpage and saw 1 seat available, first row, center.

It is mine.

Thanks, Snarky

2. I expected dynamite

But this was just as good inside.

3. Silly Hunter, not enough draft in the chimney before the fire got really hot.

He scorched the mantle and filled the house with smoke.

A good Christmas Tree Burning Ceremony sounds like a rocket, and may require structural repairs to your chimney, roof, or a complete rebuild of your house.

Merry Christmas!

Sincerely,

another Hunter.

P.S. I'm in a house full of sick people. Everyone is still asleep as the sun rises and the moon sets. I blame these winter colds on those of us who work with school age children, and all the morons who think it's some kind of god-damned-super-power to leave their homes when they are ill, or the bosses who give workers shit whenever they call in sick.

Or perhaps the sellers of barely effective over-the-counter cold medicines secretly spray Christmas Tree farms with cold viruses. Black helicopter stuff. Hell, maybe Wall Street uses cold viruses to deliver drugs that make us buy stuff we don't need.

The best cold remedy is codeine or some other opiate of your choice, pseudopehedrine, alcoholic beverages, and surrealistic movies. Most of all, stay home when you are sick. Don't send your sick children to school. "Perfect Attendance! is a sin, and ought to be punished with mandatory expulsion or termination of employment.


I'll bet Hunter Thompson knew that.

Sadly I have no codeine.
