Seriously, my job makes me hate Christmas to a certain extant and I hate that about my job. So I'm going to try to stay in the holiday spirit this year. I'll let you know how that works. (We watched the CMA music christmas special yesterday and that really helped. Lots of good performances of real Christmas songs. You know the ones we used to sing all the time before it became politically incorrect. Trust the country folks to not be afraid to tell you why the word Christ is in Christmas. LOL)

333/365 The sky is ablaze tonight
My first editing job. There were (and still are) telephone/electric wires in this shot and I managed to get them out, but I really didn't know what I was doing and the wire is still evident in the tree...I'm just getting to learn the Aperture program on my new iMac.
This so makes me think of "Gone With the Wind" and that scene when Atlanta was burning.
331/365 Porky Pine
I came across this Porky Pine figure while cleaning a closet...
From the comic strip Pogo--
"a porcupine, a misanthrope and cynic; prickly on the outside, but with a heart of gold. The deadpan Porky never smiles in the strip (except once, allegedly, when the lights were out). Pogo's best friend, equally honest, reflective and introverted, and with a keen eye both for goodness and for human foibles. The swamp's version of Eeyore, Porkypine is grumpy and melancholy by nature, and sometimes speaks of his "annual suicide attempt". He wears an undersized, plaid Pinky Lee-type hat (with an incongruously tall crown and upturned brim) and a perpetual frown, and is rarely seen without both. Porky has two weaknesses: his infatuation for Miz Mam'selle Hepzibah and a complete inability to tell a joke. He unfailingly arrives on Pogo's doorstep with a flower every Christmas morning, although he's always as embarrassed by the sentiment as Pogo is touched. He has a nephew named Tacky and a look-alike cousin named Uncle Baldwin."
329/365 I think we can manage that
(He is on his way right now but shhhhhh, don't tell them--it's a surprise!)
