Happy Solstice to all!

I woke up last night to see part of what was an unreasonably cold lunar eclipse. I'm not complaining, exactly, just pointing out that for a major astronomical event, it was remarkably ill managed, and something about a red moon just makes the cold feel even colder.

This, of course, heralded this year's winter solstice. Happy Solstice to all! The cats suggest celebrating by sleeping in (probably too late for most of you) scampering in the sun, eating your favorite food, climbing in the lap of your favorite person or persons, taking a long nap, preferably in the sun, spending some quality time bird watching, and then taking another long nap. How better to celebrate your lack of hours today?

This is why we love the internet

I know many of you cherish certain, shall we call them, bitter? angsty? irritated? feelings towards that internet behemoth, Amazon.com. This is not a post to defend Amazon.com, or denounce them, or explain their secret alliances with squirrels.*

But it is a post to point you to some reviews for AudioQuest K2 Terminated speaker cables. Scroll down. I think you will find the reviews enjoyable.

* This is an outright lie on my part. At least I hope so.
