This year's Christmas gift from my wife, a Seiko automatic from their US-only Recraft collection on a custom leather strap. (See @kdfrawg, I don't just wear Russian stuff!)

Fire last night got knocked down fairly quickly. Still getting tired of this crap, however.

12:30 AM. Woken up out of a sound sleep and hurriedly threw a bunch of stuff in my car in case the worst happens. There's fire in the barranca behind my house. Getting really tired of this shit.

I'm an American. What are these two weeks of holidays of which you speak?
