Happy new year to Patrick Lang, and his colleagues on this blog, as well as the loyal readers. This site has long been one of the most interesting, relevant and informative I've ever come across. I'm thankful for it, and hope it continues, and inspires people to develop an honest understanding of the world through the lens of history, and to cogently write about their experience.
Happy New Year to all, although not so happy here in Istanbul. I kept my head low this year, my danger radar, unfortunately proved me right. We are OK, just in case some of you my gray-bearded friends wonder. Peace in 2017.
Addressing the subject of New Year's resolutions, I propose that we disavow the use of the following euphemisms: "boots on the ground", "hunkered down", "holed up", and "went missing".
Happy New Year, Col. Lang and to all the SST correspondents. 2017 looks set to be a very interesting year and we'll need SST even more as fake news has become a central element of MSM reporting.
Happy new year, Col.

Sirs and Madames:
Happy New Year to All.
I am hoping for better than 2017, but my hopes have been dashed before.
I will now go and work on the important stuff: Brewing a good porter for consumption in early March. Also watching football.

I thought the same thing, but more likely is circa late 30s because of colored balloons
