"Merry Christmas" to you and your wife and family,

and here on the west coast, I woke up to SUNSHINE which lasted only a half hour, but long enough for a flight of little birds to land in the now leafless tree visible from my comfy couch. A good day indeed!

I have HOPE for the New Year! We will OVERCOME, and gain back the house and the senate and have enough votes to override any veto by J. D. Vance, who, in all probability will be prez in November 2026...

Thank you Mr Hubbell. May we soon know the peace that the baby Jesus brought to the world that first Christmas.

Looks like the perfect Christmas morning breakfast for a chubby guy and his animal friends. I enjoy getting your perspective on events as they are always laced with a bit of hope.

The comet name is still misspelled from the last time it was posted. It is spelled Tsuchinshan not “Tsuchnishan.” Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those who celebrate.🎄 Thank you Robert and Jill for keeping us informed and motivated! Like you say, “we are not potted plants” Here’s to better prospects for a Happy New Year!

Thank you for keeping us sane and focused in the midst of the insanity and chaos.

May 2026 be brighter, safer, and healthier - in all respects.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all who celebrate. Thank you, Robert and Jill for all you’ve done this year to bring good will to this wonderful community. Your ability to bring perspective and hope to us is so appreciated. Robert, you are always a grounded, calming voice for me and I appreciate it more than I can express. Thank you. Meeting you, Jill, was so fun. You two are an inspiration as a couple, as parents, as grandparents, and as community leaders in this resistance. We are stronger together!! ♥️♥️♥️🎅🏽️🎄🎄🎄
