SO LONG, 2024

 It is the last day of the year here in Arizona.

For some of my readers it will be the first day of the new year long before it arrives here.

For those of you making resolutions for the future, here's a little help.

Good luck with yours.

But don't feel bad if they don't last.

Many millions of good intentions have gone into the waste barrel over the years.

To be a little serious, I'd like to thank all of the blog helpers who provide much of the material for Oddball.

I'd also like to thank all of you readers who have stuck with me through the year and years.

It is, as the saying goes, my pleasure.

So to all of you, readers, commenters and lurkers, may you have the very merriest of New Year's Eves and the best of times in the New Year.
