Dear Subscriber,

Once again you have the benefit of getting this list a couple of days after
the Friday “New Issue” is posted.  Our submissions often come in over the
weekend, so when this letter arrives on Monday you’ll see several articles
with the “New” label.

Here’s this week’s crop, along with last weeks in case you missed something.

 I have no idea why Gmail is messing up the spacing on these
letters--please bear with me while I figure it out, if I ever do.

Don’t forget that whatever came later in the last week can only be found
under the Previous Issue heading.  There's some good pieces in this
category--check them out,

Still no rain, for the whole month of January.  We should probably be
worried, but meanwhile get out and enjoy the worrisome weather.

Best,

*Becky O’Malley*
