I noticed, after posting my last entry, which closed out 2025, that the blog had reached a total of 365 posts. That would be a pretty good number if I had been blogging for a year, but in reality I started the blog in 2010.
I also wrote that the final episode of Newhart had aired in the Eighties, though the actual air date was May 21, 1990, which most people would consider the Nineties. One can make the mathematical argument that, since there was no “year zero” (the calendar goes directly from 1 BC to AD 1) that first decade of the AD time period was 1-10, and by the same principle “the Eighties” would actually be 1981-1990. I remember some people making that same argument back when everyone assumed that the new millennium would begin in 2000. However, I think that it is best not to attempt that argument, and rather to save my strength for arguing the superiority of meteorological winter to astronomical winter.
