... January is the start of a new year. We welcome 2017 with open arms. 2016 was a pretty good year, but I’m hoping 2017 will be even better. We could sure use a year of good weather. It would be nice to have about 300 clear nights here. I know I am dreaming but hey, we can dream. I hope everyone had a ...
