Items after the New Year

The usual New Year items: the first ship into port and the first baby (although the Gazette shows us a photo of the mother of the second baby). These news categories must persist because there’s typically virtually no other local news at the cusp of the year.

Likewise, everyone has coverage of the story linked in the previous blog entry, about the woman allegedly pushed from a balcony. Usually a nonfatal incident wouldn’t be such a big story – if there was any other local news. (No disrespect meant to the alleged victim.)

Also, I usually do weekend events on Friday, but there’s a feeling that we’re all partied out. None of the usual sources have updates.

The big news is that it’s –20° right now. Was –23° when I woke up. This is when living on the ground floor of a hundred‑year‑old not very well insulated building really tells!
