Well, well, well, everybody, hope you're doing well. Happy. New Year's Eve, it is just 12.23 on the 31st. It is the end of another year up here in Canada. It is snowing like God's got infinite dandruff and can't stop sneezing.

It's just that kind of day.

So if you're out there, drive in slow motion.

It's like underwater driving.

Everything is slow motion when you drive in the snow.

And for those of you teaching teenagers how to drive, enjoy.

Enjoy the experience.

I learned to drive actually when I was working up north, and I learned to drive on a very

old truck with a terrible transmission, and you had to change all the gears by hand

and can across your fingers. And the guy who was teaching me how to drive had a coffee

test. So he'd have a coffee with no lid.

And if I could change the gears and start and stop without him,

he was billing his coffee, he considered that a plus.

And I ended up taking my driver's test in a town that was so small.

They couldn't even figure out how I handled traffic lights. Why? Well,

because there were no traffic lights. It was that small a town. So I hope you have a great day.

I would love to hear thoughts, questions, issues, challenges, problems, criticisms.

Whatever is on your casey biodegradable minds. I'm all ears.

I mean, I wanted to mention a little bit about something I think is important. And this is not

going to be specifically philosophical. It's not going to be specifically political, although I suppose

it has elements of those.

But I just wanted to sort of drop in, and since it's the end of the year, which is a time of rumination and review, at least for me, I think for most people.
