## It should be observed that there several **other** people in the running, giving a split of 18% for either man. Predictably, the division was along party lines.

Here in Dixie we have a good luck tradition for New Year's day.

## Here in Dixie we have a good luck tradition for New Year's day. We eat black eyed peas and collard greens or turnip greens with corn bread. This dates back to the late 18th century when most people in Dixie were subsistence farmers. Back then, if you had beans and greens you were going to survive the winter. *The peas were supposed to symbolize coins and the greens, folding currency.* The corn bread symbolized "What you mean we can't afford loaf bread? We're that poor?" I had to look up Hogmanay (Scottish New Year celebrations). It's a word that didn't escape Scotland. Never heard of it before. After that, I found out their food stuffs for the day was ". . . other classics such as a cock-a-leekie soup (chicken soup) and hearty, substantial fare like venison pie with a side dish of either Rumbledethumps (potato and vegetable bake) or delicious traditional tatties and neeps (potatoes and turnips). It took decades of angry e-mails but it's official that a tradition in Dixie as been discontinued: the possum drop. Same thing as the ball drop in NYC but with a shy nocturnal animal. They were lowered inside of a cage and released. The fun part is a possum has more teeth than any mammal and can crush bone. Get out the way, we're releasing the possum!

I think president Trump may be near certifiably insane.

## At the start of this century, I realized climate change meant heat strokes in Florida and much stronger hurricanes. Therefore, I left for the mountains of South Carolina. I figured I'd never go fishing after Christmas again. Yesterday, it got up in the upper 60's. I could have gone fishing. Florida weather is coming after me.
