Ahoy Cap Jack, first Mate Ty and my Ashell Bretheren:

Before the power goes out and / or the wifi freezes just wanted to shout out a Happy Festivus, Yueltide, Winter Solstice or your seasonal holiday of choice!

Enjoy some good family time and deserved respite!

Thanks for the good wishes, Frank. Same to you and family.

I just checked temps in your fine city -- 2 degrees! When's the last time it was 2 degrees F in Asheville? Ever? I assume the electrons in the wifi routers have stopped moving, so I hope you see this message when they thaw. Merry Christmas.
