New year underway towing along its usual barge load of prior year and year before that and year before....
Nothing sad or pathetic about the not so newness of a new year. Thankful, really, for some level of continuity, even continuity of trouble or pain generally mixed with some continuing comfort, joy, warm regards.

Don't know why they need to make it so much of a hassle to post a few photos here. 200k is a bizarrely low limit.
Maybe more later.

Today is the 190th anniversary of poet Walt Whitman's birth. Here's some of my favorite bits from Song of Myself:

Would Christianity survive the discovery of an extraterrestrial civilization? Hard to imagine how. It's "universality" is terribly parochial and earth bound.
