I'm happy to see 2023 f***-off into the rear view. Such a crappy year. A lot of my grief about it centers around June 15 when Mother Nature just shell-bombed the absolute living f*** out of my town with hail. For bonus points we had a destructive tornado touch down east of town. I'm still dealing with insurance issues involving my house and my truck. Yeah, there are people out there who still suggest I should be thankful for what I have. I guess that's because the shit could still get oh so much screwed up worse. I'm praying 2024 will be an up year instead of more of the downward decline.
