There you have it. Technically, yes, it is Wednesday but until I go to bed and fall asleep, it's Tuesday night.
As ever, I thank you for subscribing and a special thanks to the half of you who open the email and a superduper massive thanks for the quarter of you who actually click on one of the stories. Ain't analytics a hoot?
Until next week, shovel all irrelevant compliments and harsh truths to:

I am in your debt. Wash your hands and wear your mask.
