So glad I'm off tomorrow. I've had a sore throat since Christmas Eve, and today I've completely lost my voice. No COVID, tho. No fever, can still smell, just sinuses (not nose??) clogged, ears clogged, no voice. Throat no longer hurts, too.
Looking forward to sleeping all day tomorrow.

@Agatha yeah, sounds like you have a parts monster there. Good luck!!
@Agatha You know what, I'm wrong - it wasn't a 457. It was a 237. Mom bought it when I was a baby, 1969, so I'm guessing it was one of those made in Italy. All metal body, weighs a freaking ton.
@Agatha I still have my mom's 457 Stylist - had it serviced about 15 years ago, still works great. Light duty!!

INTRO : As we pass the winter solstice and begin the end of the year holidays, the sounds of the season take on a celebratory and spiritual air. In the far northern country of Norway, it's always a white Christmas, and the music strikes a balance between the somber isolation of the long Arctic nights...
Merry Christmas, US Central Time! #merryhoho
#stlblues win 7-5 over #blackhawks, they were down 5-2 at the start of the 3rd, and then scored FIVE GOALS.
WOOO!!!! #cosopuck
@Coctaanatis Thanks for the read!
I'm in MO, Dad's family is from the Ozarks.
It was a surprise to go back thru family history and find a great-great-great-grandfather who was born in MO and died in MS. Battle of Vicksburg. He died the day after the battle (Jul 5, 1863). He was 39.
He'd left his family in MO and gone to IL to enlist in the 120th. My great-great grandmother was his oldest daughter, and she was 5 when he was killed.
We had both Confederate and Union fighters in the family.

Here’s the Civil War history they didn’t want you to know
...
A new generation of Civil War scholars is filling in what one commentator calls the “skipped history” of White Southerners who fought for the Union Army. For me, the emerging revisionist account of the conflict is personal. I have discovered the story of a great-great-grandfather who was threatened with hanging as a “damned old Lincolnite” by his neighbors in the Alabama mountains.
