Last Ticker of 2004

Another calendar gone, the seventh for the Ticker
We're all older, some balder, some a little bit thicker
Before you sit down to your holiday dish
Please indulge us a Mesonet-themed holiday wish

Sit down with your family, whatever you COOK
Turn off your TV, take the phone off the HOOK
BURN some WOOD in your fire and make sure to share
Thanks for that in your life which is fine and is FAIR.

If you know what you want, drop Santa a HINT
Just remember life's best shouldn't cost you a CENT.
SLAP hands with your buddies when your BOWL team scores
And eat like a KING on your candy and s'mores.

And, while feasting your eyes on the GOOD that you see,
Please remember those elsewhere who are keeping us FREE.

So ...

like each sensor at Spencer and each record of Chandler's
from the tranceiver at Beaver to the prop-vane at Antlers
like Wister's thermistors and Bixby's barometer
to the Mesonet's last little cup anemometer

May your turkey be juicy and your ham be well-cured
And your holiday thoroughly quality assured

See you next year,
Deke
