I know we’re not supposed to be superstitious. I also know many of us are.
I’ve just noticed that New Year’s Eve is not only a full moon, but a blue moon.

The first stop every morning is LNCDE, or sometimes Expensive Yuppie [...] It’s been raining all day. It’s December, and we’re supposed to have a snow storm, but the Eastern Front receives only rain and wind. Horizontal rain, but still rain. I hear it’s been snowing out in West, but here at Medic 9 it’s just cold and wet. Just after dusk, the rain stops briefly and [...] The phone rang as we walked into the kitchen. “Isn’t it awful what happenned to those poor Worcester firemen?” my wife’s grandmother asked.
