Also up at 7:00 for a New Year's Day hike in what looks to be some excellent but cold weather. Happy New Year to everyone. ✨🎉

That "wow" was for the "moderation queue" part. I sympathize. It gets old.

Along this line, I was having a conversation last night with some friends about Krispy Kremes. Specifically, how ironic it is that they are used so often as fundraisers by high school cheerleaders and athletes. Sure.

Another of those Appalachian sayings were talking about elsewhere?

Sounds like my sister.

The punctuation fanatic will put a couple here: A Guide to Proper Comma Use - https://www.businessinsider.com/a-guide-to-proper-comma-use-2013-9 - An almost too-limiting technical viewpoint on commas, but an excellent starting point. Rules for Comma Usage - https://guidetogrammar.org/grammar/commas.htm - Broader comma coverage. Using Semicolons - http://writing2.richmond.edu/writing/wweb/semicolon.html - A short and to the point discussion of semicolons. And a topic about which I've annoyed more than one person: Lay or Lie? - http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000233.htm - A succinct outline of the subject without all of the usual excess that simply makes it more confusing. Set or Sit? - http://englishplus.com/grammar/00000250.htm - An outline of how to use the two verbs, another problematic pair.

I consider myself to be very militant. I got eight because, as with others above, it depends on usage. I felt the scope of the questions was limited. There were no punctuation questions, for example.
