Happy New Year, my long-suffering reading friend. Yours truly would like to enter this year 2022 of the common era, and no longer of the Christian era, with a not too boring topic.

A slightly tardy Merry Christmas, my reading friend, even though yours truly must admit this is an odd Christmas indeed. It occurred to me that a toy, or a toy manufacturing firm, could be an appropriate topic for this week’s issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee.

I offer you an agricultural greeting on this December day, my reading friend. Assuming you are passionate about aviation, yours truly is afraid you will not have much to sink your fangs into. Sorry.
