A December Hodgepodge

 

Here I am doing another hodgepodge which is brought to you by Joyce over at http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/

Here are this week’s questions.

need to get done, or that must get done before the year ends? 

I have sat and thought about this, and I can’t think of a damn thing, which is a good thing.

December 17th is National Maple Syrup Day...are you a fan? Do you like maple flavour in other food items such as candy, cookies, donuts, oatmeal, hot toddies, coffee? 

Yes, I do like maple syrup and maple syrup bacon

Time magazine names a person of the year every year.  The tradition started back in 1927 with a 'man of the year' but has since changed to recognize not only an individual, but also to consider the impact of a group, movement, or idea that most influenced the year. The selection is not always someone or something good (think Hitler in 1938 and Stalin twice). 

This year they've named The AI Architects as their 'person of the year'. What say you? Is this a good choice, an obvious choice, a logical choice? Who do you think should have been named person of the year? 

It is for the most part a good thing but there has been some really bad or stupid choices like Hitler, Stalin and anything concerning AI

What's a city, state, or country you've visited that you never care to visit again? Tell us why. 

China, it was a nice experience, but I just can’t seem the point in going back, also feel the same way about Hawaii as I felt like Hawaii is a lot like the Gold Coast in Queensland.

Next Sunday (December 21st) marks the first day of winter (or the opposite if you're living down under). What's one thing you love about this new season? 

Well here in Australia we are in summer and it’s bloody hot, what do I love about summer is air conditioning
