Breaking us in two, it is.
U-Turn
Japan reverses nuclear energy phase-out policy amid global fuel shortages, climate change
…whereas in Germany, for example, where all nukes were put on the short-term shutdown list because of the Fukushima disaster on the other side of the world, they’re still going to resort to firewood and wind power over the winter (lol good luck with that).
And I always thought that the Germans were pragmatic — but that no longer seems to be the case.

…that would be our Brit Cousins, who yesterday celebrated Boxing Day not by sitting by a warm fire eating crumpets etc., oh no. Apparently, the Boxing Day “tradition” Over There is to freeze your appendages off in this manner:
To quote Obelix: “These Britons are crazy.”
Made certain parts of me shrink just by looking at ’em.
Blown Out
Aaaaargh. Thanksgiving, schmanksgiving; when it comes to extended gluttony (at least in our family), nothing begins to compare with the Three Days Of Christmas.
Christmas Eve “snacks” (if you can call a long dining room table FULL of finger foods and a huge charcuterie board “snacks”, plus of course booze); Christmas morning brunch (full English plus cinnamon rolls, and mimosas); and then the pièce de résistance, the Boxing Day Roast Beast, with enough wine to drown a walrus.
I don’t want to see any food until at least tomorrow, and not even a sniff of booze until New Year’s Eve.

See y’all tomorrow.
