As we head out into the last week of January, where the sun sets a little later each day and temperatures fail to even guess what they’re doing, it’s time for me to assemble a bunch of commentary and posts together.

Next Week
It’s going to be a semi-busy week next week as we’re heading towards the Luna New Year on Wednesday, and I might have a few extra articles in the back pocket.
We’ll also have our usual mixture of news, views, headlines and whatever else passes through the side entrance of the blog.
Until then, Happy Landings!
