On a happier note, when was your most memorable New Year's Eve?
Mine was in 1983, when I rung in the New Year at Garmisch-Partenkirchen, a fun resort community in the Bavarian Alps. I was serving in the Army at the time.

I don't know about you, but I'm having difficulty wishing people a Happy New Year during these dark days.
I wonder if many Americans felt the same way on Dec. 31, 1941? 🤔

The movement is also hiding immigrant families without permanent resident status from discovery, ferrying kids to-from school, delivering meals to families. They stand guard outside mosques, collect cars abandoned after sudden arrests, locate people in immigration jail and help get them attorneys.

My last day at the recycling center until February, provided everything turns out okay. I have little previous experience with major surgery, so I don't know what to expect. Mrs. Lungs will take good care of me, and hopefully my surgical team will, too.

Here’s what to know about a viral YouTube video about fraud in Minnesota
University of Minnesota media law professor Jane Kirtley says the new viral video is flashy, but absent of facts to back up its claims — and its lack of transparency could be considered deceptive.

Roads in our 'burb not as good as you might expect them to be, considering past history. It was the nature of that storm -- wet, icy, sticky snow, then light, fluffy snow in high winds during an all-day event. Bottom line:

@stribrooks.bsky.social is a treasure, and her news column will be missed. If newspapers had a Good Place, I wish she would go there and make great journalism and felt ornaments forever.
Please join me in thanking @stribrooks.bsky.social for years of good Strib column work; her year-end piece was her last. She’s not leaving; she’ll be doing features, likely good ones. But she was a news columnist who didn’t go out of her way to punch the left, as Strib opinionators increasingly do.
