or maybe the original artist will post it to the Blue Sun Room (I did not, as it isn't mine [I got it from a Five-tailed Fox, but don't know if it's hers either])

Hehe.... My energy costs are up 28% so far this winter Wish, and I keep the thermostat at 59 degrees :)

I'm happy to report that my thermostat is at 65 degrees this year.

If I looked only at the temp..... and at the 2nd sump pump I had to replace in 8 months or my snow blower not working today or the Union Plumber wages I'll have to pay tomorrow morning to rod out my pipes to the street... well.... yeah..... what's so good about it, right?

---

Wow. Yeah. I was having a particularly bad winter. I remember all that.

There's a lot of stuff to keep us happy in down times though, right Wish?

Don't be "Jack in the RWED".....

I'm sure there are much happier things we can both appreciate than how barely-bearably cold it's been and will be for the foreseeable future, right?

I'm sure there was no possible way that I was showing this level of optimism consistently back then. I probably had at least 6 beers in me when writing this, or maybe 12 or 24 even.

But it looks as though I still had a healthy level of introspection despite that fact.

Happy New Year to you too YT.

That image you posted is awesome. It's like what the Firefly Gang would have looked like if they were characters on the 80's Japanese Cartoon Taro the Dragon Boy.

Hear the wind blow from the North....

Blow North Wind Blow.

Now it comes from the East.

Blow East Wind Blow.

........

I am Taro!

I am Taro, Dragon Boy, Dragon Boy waiting for You!

I hear you calling my name. Wind says Da-da-da-da!

........

Child of the Dragon, Child of the Dragon, Child of the Wild Wild Winds....

.........


Hear the wind blow from the South, blow South Wind blow.

Now it comes from the West...

Blow West Wind Blow...



I wish I could remember more than that. Youtube doesn't have a translated version of this song anywhere that I can find.


If somehow you could find this cartoon translated on VHS or DVD for your grandkids, they'll love it, I promise..... even if it was made 10 years or so before I was born. :) (EDITED TO ADD: Nope... it was made the year I was born.... OOPS)



Happy New Year!

Now, I have a gripe about this time of year. For the last couple this phrase of "sober curious" has been going around. The younger generation are making it sound like some sort of magical mystery tour. And it's not. In fact staying sober period isn't that hard to do.

There's my gripe.

Don't tell that to an alcoholic.


Good for the kids though. Get off those smart phones and stay away from liquor and you're probably going to live a happier life.

Addiction isn't something you can just flip off like a light switch. Wouldn't it be great if life worked that way.
