Praise then darkness, and creation unfinished

I've not slept well for a couple of nights, so anything substantive is going to have to wait. However: I did go to the gym last night (and had a session with Emilie, and some discussion about taking care of my knees), and here's a link to a summary of last year's extreme weather, hot and cold, wet and dry. (This is mostly so I can find it later.)
