Expect The Big Picture Report to be relatively quiet during the holiday period. The editor is off to Hawaii to vacation, as well as contemplate the beauty of the world as well as the mess mankind is making of it. The BPR will return, hopefully with renewed energy and ideas, after the first of the year.  I wish everyone a wonderful holiday season and a terrific New Year.

P.S. While relatively dormant, The Big Picture Report will remain alive, and you may discover some posts here prior to the end of 2011.
