Wet conditions left muddy streets and cuckholes while rain and moisture promise a robust spring moisture level and full reservoir aiding early irrigation. Local residents and visitors spend the holidays at lake homes and with relatives as year end duties and New Year observations proceed.

Barbs by Phil Pastore on Barbershop Fads and Gossip
A short column joking about instant foods and instant ecc, noting that most people have nursing grudges about long hair as barbershop prices rise. It quips that men do not gossip but speculate, reflecting light social humor.

The mistletoe Phoradendron flavescens derives its name from Greek meaning tree thief. It photosynthesizes for sugar while drawing water and minerals from its host, and birds disperse its seeds between trees. Druids in ancient times attributed supernatural power to a plant thriving without soil roots.
