Annus Horribilis
In a few days 2022 will be over and we can pretend it never happened

I've got to say I'm impressed. Our twenty-year-old Ford Focus had just spent five days in the driveway in the bitter cold. I went out today fully expecting at least a dead battery. But I turned the key and it started right up.

Night descended like a blackout curtain. The view through the window is inky black. We're promised high winds, haven't felt any yet, but the temperature did drop in a hurry.
