    Well, you made it to the Christmas holidays. First, some housekeeping, my posting next week might be a bit sporadic. Not that it hasn’t been sporadic the last few months.

    As I stated earlier this week, I spent the first half of the week in Wisconsin research my family history. And I really will try to get to it next week.

    Happy Friday, everyone. Xkcd had a post this week about volcanos and it is an illustrated guide to the various different types of volcanos that exist. Well worth a look. Credit for the piece goes to Randall Munroe.
