Possible other reasons, which you are at liberty, obviously, to debunk collectively or individually:

A) Some drinking has been going on
B) someone hijacked your computer and is just funnin us
C) dementia--not necessarily yours, could be the reader
D) space monkeys

In any case,

My Christmas drink
One ounce Tito's craft vodka.
One ounce Kraken Dark Rum
One ounce Bacardi 151 Rum.
A little ice to cut down the chance of spontaneous combustion.

I forgot to take a picture of the finished roast. I would also like to the thank the ancient residents of the Fertile Crescent for domesticating the boeve.

JJ turns SW along the Australian coast like Perry steaming into Tokyo Bay with the Great White Fleet. This turn makes sense if they are going to Port Kembla or Sydney or Newcastle. It makes less sense if they were going to Melbourne. It almost seems like they PURPOSELY let themselves be spotted a day early.
Hmmmm? Well, even so we rise to the bait with a nibble (this is a fishing reference).
