Today is Friday, Jan. 8, the eighth day of 2021.
On this date:
In 1815, the last major engagement of the War of 1812 came to an end as U.S. forces defeated the British in the Battle of New Orleans, not having gotten word of the signing of a peace treaty.
I've heard more about the War of 1812 this week than I probably did in my entire school career.
One good thing about this/last year.  Probably learned a lot of things of significance that you probably never considered or retained before.

Feeling very sad. I received news a very close friend and neighbor passed away this morning. She was the kindest person I know.

Sorry, Rick, that sucks. 2021 is starting off worse than 2020 ended, somehow.

Sorry to hear it, brother. My heartfelt condolences. I hope she didn't suffer.

On the bright side, new heater for the man cave has arrived. I'll give it a test drive tonight, see how it handles the cold.

Isn't that what heaters are supposed to do?

Propane?

21 will be the reverse of 20.  Start out sucking, marked improvement in the last quarter.

Yes, but they don't always do enough to take the chill out of the air, wisenheimer.

No, electric. If I get one that's propane, I'd be going through it like water over the winter.

No problem, any time.  🧙‍♂️
