This is also the last Weekly Edition of the two-thousand-teens; next week the secular calendar changes over to a new year and a new decade, the Twenties! We’ll see if they are as Roaring as the last century’s version. Have a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous 2020 – and be sure to get out and vote!
