“Armorica . . . continental fragments that rifted away from Gondwana and collided with Laurussia during the Variscan orogeny.”—Wikipedia
“Au début du ***e siècle, les éleveurs se fédèrent et nomment leur flopée « armoricaine ». De ses ancêtres, elle a gardé la rusticité des races britanniques.”*—Wikipédia
“Many emerged pale and emancipated into the bright January sunlight, greeted by weeping family members who had no idea they were still alive.”—The Guardian, January 26, 2025
Sunday: Mostly to partly sunny. A rise in inflation and contrary southwest winds lead to second thoughts on Capitol Hill.
Sunday night: Prisons opened, victims of the Former Regime (VFR) emerge, pale and emancipated. Lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
Monday: Jubilation, especially in the first half of the day. Crowds in the mid 50s, growing thicker toward evening.
Tuesday: Still crowded, but milder. Bureaucracy increases later in the day, with new appointments at higher elevations. Highs near 60.
Wednesday: Dense crowds. Highs in the mid 50s. Lows in the 20s.
Thursday: Falling temperatures. Blustery showers. Highs in the 30s, lows in the 20s. Crowds disperse by evening.
Friday: Wintry, upper 30s to lower 40s. Waves of prevarication, snow. Inflation in low-lying areas.
No end in sight.
