Sometimes trying to be creative obscures the intent of a simple thought, like – Happy New Year, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
Sidney Australia had a successful, Firecracker booming new Year a little earlier and it was safe. The police presence following the massacre at Bondi beach was massive. And that is an example of the part of the kind of year we a had, a seemingly growing disregard by some for the sanctity of human life.
But it was certainly an active year with many great positive things to remember. Like the hero who stepped forward in the midst of Bondo killings to stop the savagery. Yes, beyond the negativity that often grabs headlines we continue to learn that kindness and love remains overwhelming in the hearts of humans.
The worst part of jogging on New Year’s Eve is the ice falling out of your drink.

China has ordered 22 Millon NVidia H200 Chips and NVidia has only 700,000 available. That suddenly puts enormous pressure on Taiwan's contract chip Manufacturer TSMC. NVidia says iwill be ramped up by Q1 2026. But then we see the China naval forces getting closer, surrounding the Island Nation. For thousands of years most wars began over religious differences, but the new God is chips which could diminish the human significance on earth. Oh the dominos we see. Wow, that's a disjointed paragraph if I ever saw one.
A few years ago everybody had an idea for a better craft beer. Local brewers arose like weeds. People flocked to the breweries and many a weekend afternoon were spent tasting variations of new creations as bands played under the sun. And now craft brewhouses are folding fast as growing costs squeeze profitability in a market that is rapidly losing favor with fad hoppers. In the first six months of 2025, 250 breweries were closed. The Fad Syndrome is a sinister economic reality.
