It's a war zone out there, what with the rockets' red glare, the
explosions, the crazy neighbor
attempting to scare off the old year and in the process, scaring in the new
year as well as the neighbors. No way I'm going out there in these
conditions. Even Murrow
would give pause before entering the mæstrom of fire emanating from
across the street. No fool, I (or Murrow).
So, from the relative safely of Chez Boca, I bid you Happy New Year.
At least this year we don't have to worry about the world ending in an
Emmerichesque orgy of disaster porn or New Age woo-woo mystical
nonsense. Thank <insert deity of your choice> for
that!
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
