Re: # 15. I would be remiss not to remind you that though meteorological winter has begun, still, according to The Google, astronomical winter has yet to commence, or is a little over a week away, yuck!
They say, "The winter solstice, which marks the first day of winter 2023, occurs on Thursday, December 21, 2023 at 10:27 p.m. EST."
That's 3 more months of frozen crap, etc.
