You can't always pull them down.  And why would you want to?  One senseless beacon in the night on which to rest your fortitude?  Don't even bother!! They said this would happen.  They told exactly w…

It's the first episode of 2020 and to commemorate that I wanted this text to be in orange.  Apparently that's just not possible.  How do you like that?  It's 2020 and we can't even type our 'Episode …
