Good-bye 2016 . . .

Proving that timing is everything . . .

. . . 240 consecutive green lights in NYC - gives real meaning to driving in the city.

The laureate speaks . . .

... actually, not really - Bob Dylan has made it very clear he's skipping today's Nobel ceremony. But that's vintage Dylan.

Godspeed, John Glenn . . .

Space hero dead at 95. A Marine, a pilot, an astronaut, a senator, a great American.

Story:

John Glenn, who captured the nation’s attention in 1962 as the first American to orbit the Earth during a tense time when the United States sought supremacy over the Soviet Union in the space race, and who rocketed back into space 36 years later, becoming the oldest astronaut in history, died Dec. 8 at a hospital in Columbus, Ohio. Mr. Glenn, who in his post-NASA career served four terms as a U.S. senator from Ohio, was 95.
