Another year is upon us! Happy New Year!
Only a few new jobs this week. Always a slow week between Christmas and New Year's day.
Some people Tweet 2015 lists - best climate stories, worst this-and-that, etc. The first category provides links to a few of these stories.
Lots of climate, meteorology, California and flood stories.
Pictured here is the celebration at Times Square in New York City. I went to one of these a couple of centuries ago.
Enjoy!

In honor of my Scottish heritage - what else?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne.
For auld lang syne, my jo,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,
For auld lang syne
---Auld Lang Syne (first verse and chorus), by Robert Burns
