My dad always said, if you have kids you won;t have anything else…

maybe goes for four-legged kids, too?

A joyous and reasonably sane Christmakuh* to each and everyone of you.

*Because Christmas and Hanukah come on the same day this year. I'll pass on "Kwanzsa."

From the Wall Street Journal, their annual Christmas editorial:

Hoc Anno DominiThis editorial by Vermont Royster has been published annually since 1949.Dec. 23, 2024.

When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar.Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so.But everywhere there was something else, too. There was oppression—for those who were not the friends of Tiberius Caesar.

There was the tax gatherer to take the grain from the fields and the flax from the spindle to feed the legions or to fill the hungry treasury from which divine Caesar gave largess to the people. There was the impressor to find recruits for the circuses. There were executioners to quiet those whom the Emperor proscribed. What was a man for but to serve Caesar?

There was the persecution of men who dared think differently, who heard strange voices or read strange manuscripts. There was enslavement of men whose tribes came not from Rome, disdain for those who did not have the familiar visage. And most of all, there was everywhere a contempt for human life. What, to the strong, was one man more or less in a crowded world?

Then, of a sudden, there was a light in the world, and a man from Galilee saying, Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s. And the voice from Galilee, which would defy Caesar, offered a new Kingdom in which each man could walk upright and bow to none but his God. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. And he sent this gospel of the Kingdom of Man into the uttermost ends of the earth.

So the light came into the world and the men who lived in darkness were afraid, and they tried to lower a curtain so that man would still believe salvation lay with the leaders.But it came to pass for a while in divers places that the truth did set man free, although the men of darkness were offended and they tried to put out the light. The voice said, Haste ye. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you, for he that walketh in darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.

Along the road to Damascus the light shone brightly. But afterward Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant unto them, that men might yield up their birthright from God for pottage and walk no more in freedom.Then might it come to pass that darkness would settle again over the lands and there would be a burning of books and men would think only of what they should eat and what they should wear, and would give heed only to new Caesars and to false prophets. Then might it come to pass that men would not look upward to see even a winter’s star in the East, and once more, there would be no light at all in the darkness.

And so Paul, the apostle of the Son of Man, spoke to his brethren, the Galatians, the words he would have us remember afterward in each of the years of his Lord: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas with friends and family and get to continue enjoying the next few days away from work. Here on the Caldera the snow is coming down and the 23 degrees makes it quite bearable.
Beans are ground and the magic water is being processed while the plow truck is warming up. It's back to the salt mine for this gashole and his crew.
Have a great day and be a good human and hug the one's you love as you just never know..... as we lost a West Yellowstone PD officer yesterday. Prayers for her family as Christmas takes on a whole different meaning for them! Plus we get this......

Sleep patterns are all messed up, so up and at ‘em a bit early on this Boxing Day!

Thanks for the coffee, if you have a cup to spare. We have wind and rain, which means the mountain passes are getting stacked in a big way! So far no closures over the top, but thinking it could happen in the next little while…

Hoping most of the crew here has a couple days off to let the Christmas feast ruminate a bit, but if not be careful going to and fro as it appears with the exception of our southwestern friends most of us are experiencing winter in a big way the next couple days…

How's your day going? Need a chuckle?

howdy from cloudy Arizona. Its a work day for me and I'm loving it. I am getting excited for the next year.
My buddy who I gave a ride in my bronco and now owns one, is sending all kinds of trail pictures from Tennessee. I love it. He hasn't been yet but he is itching to get his tires dirty. So cool to bring another to the corral.

I’m not sure where I’ve been but I believe I have been very busy with two Christmas parties, one Christmas Eve and one Christmas Day, or maybe I was just stuck in traffic, or I ran out of gas, I had a flat tire, my car clonked out, we got hit by a flood, a giant snow storm hit, we were abducted by aliens, Santa crashed into our house…….IT’S NOT MY FAULT.
Anyhoo!
Not sure why I haven’t been on…..🤔

A belated Christmas to all of you, hope your day was as wonderful as mine!!!

Not sure if this is the best picture to post, so I will post with a WARNING ‼️
