Merry Christmas!

 




Dear Reader, I wish for you glad tidings and good cheer at this Christmastime.

My offerings to you of salutation this past year have been the slimmest of slim pickings,
such that I almost feel I should perhaps reintroduce myself to you.
But let us have that pleasure, hem hem,
in the New Year and I shall regale you then with this & that.

  1. If Santa Claus wanted to deliver a present to all good children on Christmas Eve, he would have to travel at 711 kilometers per second, his sleigh would weigh 257,400 tons, and it would have to be pulled by 117,000 reindeer. Impossible? No, according to physics professor Metin Tolan , "because whenever there's a complicated phenomenon in physics, you have to use quantum theory."
    ... Let's leave it at that. ;-)
    Happy holidays, signora Pipistrello.

  2. That is a fun picture of a Santa who is a bit modern using a blimp. I do think of him and his reindeer and sleigh.

    1. Dear Terra, I rather fancy a resurrection of travel at a more leisurely pace. Just to gently drift across the continents seems so appealing.

  5. Hello Pipistrello, Happy Holidays to you and your family. Perhaps we can both improve blog-wise next year--I have some things on the drawing board, but somehow never get the impetus to pound them into shape.
