Today's quote:  

No amount of regret changes the past. No amount of anxiety changes the future. Any amount of gratitude changes the present.

Second night of Hanukkah

I saw the Buzz Bus at my favorite car repair place, R.T.'s Auto in Swannanoa. He knows I'm his customer, but I was dropping off a friend who had had some work done on her car. Of all three of the car repair places in Swannanoa this is the only one that survived from the flooded Swannanoa River running right behind them. R.T.'s is actually a bit further away as the river curves behind him. But they had flooding as well, just not their foundation washed away!

Oops, Santa succumbed to a gust of wind.

Just watched a fun movie "Fly Me To The Moon," on Apple TV+ streaming. The best part was seeing the real shots of Apollo 11 and the first men on the moon. The rest of the movie was well enough done that I didn't think it too much like "I Love Lucy," which is how I judge most movies these days.
