Today is Saint Nicholas Day The Patron Saint I am named for. Here's a little history if youre not familiar. In my family much Like Greece and other European countries your "Name Day"(Saint's Feast Day) is bigger than your birthday.
Saint Nicholas (Greek: Άγιος Νικόλαος, Aghios ["holy"] Nicolaos ["victory of the people"]) (270–6 December 346), also called Nikolaos of Myra, was a saint and Greek[3] Bishop of Myra (Demre, in Lycia, part of modern-day Turkey). Because of the many miracles attributed to his intercession, he is also known as Nikolaos the Wonderworker (Greek: Νικόλαος ο Θαυματουργός, Nikolaos o Thaumaturgos). He had a reputation for secret gift-giving, such as putting coins in the shoes of those who left them out for him, and thus became the model for Santa Claus, whose modern name comes from the Dutch Sinterklaas. His reputation evolved among the faithful, as is common for early Christian saints.[4] In 1087, his relics were furtively translated to Bari, in southeastern Italy; for this reason, he is also known as Nikolaos of Bari. His feastday is December 6. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, thieves, children, and students.

There's a guy putting solar panels on my roof (not Santa)… He's 73 years old... He shoots up the ladder at 8 am and we don't see him for hours... This afternoon, he came in complaining that it was pretty shitty up there cause the roof was covered with ice… I told him to watch it, not worth it risking your life over some panels ya know?.. He didn't seem phased, just said "Oh you know, when your time has come, there's nowt you can do about it anyhow..."
Old people...

Damn, I hope I'm still that active when I'm 73. Come to think of it, I hope I'm still walking around at 73, let alone puttering around on rooftops installing solar panels.
