Eatin' Season

Merry 'Now it is midwinter, if you still have enough food to tide you over till Spring, you can go a bit wild and eat more than the usual handful of nuts, dried berries and preserved meat. If not, say hello to your ancestors when you starve to death. We will look for your stars in Spring when the blizzards clear.'

For those of us living south of the Equator, all this makes no sense. It's rather hot and humid, and there are a lot of fresh prawns to get through. I hope you survive, without too much expsoure to Dark Ages Christian appropriation of decent pagan holidays.

I had written a nice little rant about that annoying Book-that-is-true-because-it-says-it-was-true, and some of it's authors perhaps having a bit too much of some sort of spirit in them, because they seem to have got their seasons mixed up by about 6 MONTHS. Simple mistake, anyone could make it, especially with all those voices in their head telling them what to write.

Anyway, I ditched the rant as it could be taken as too inflamatory, and the MPAA, the CIA, the FBI, ASIO and the Retail Traders Association would probably be wanting to have a word with me for seditious behaviour.

Merry whatever.
