- Accountant's Xmas card. The view this morning after yesterday's blizzard looks pretty much the same as in 2003. Therefore, the accountants amongst the viewing audience will experience a thrill of ecstasy - which may prove incontinent - to see that I have "saved effort", by recycling the previous card/photo.

(Well, actually, it took longer and didn't save anything, and looks uglier - but that's the point, I guess). Enjoy.
