My apologies, gentle readers. Alert Socotra followers have noted that the President Millard Fillmore Library continues to be located in Fillmore, Utah, where it has existed peacefully since 1925. It can be visited 10:00 AM to 5:00 weekdays, with morning hours on Saturday. The 13th linear occupant of the Oval Office, and ranked 24th overall by some scholars, the trove of material is of vital interest to students of the Whig Party.

The Daily Socotra regrets the error, and invites you to the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Spiegel Grove, Fremont, OH. As we all know, the 19th President of the United States, a Republican from the Buckeye State, is well regarded by history as a pack to pack + player in the ranks of the Presidents, with some surveys having him as high as 13th.

The Fremont library was the first Presidential library, originally chartered by the family of the late president to house his 12,000 volume personal library. Chartered as a Federal institution in 1994, the facility is a lasting tribute to whatever happened in his Administration.

It appears that the scarf holding the neck upright may have been pulled too tightly. Other than that, there are no problems in the Northland, nor a Presidential Library in sight.

At a few miles north of the 45th Parallel, this is not the end of the earth, but neither can you see the end of the trees that stretch to the north.

Our thanks to all for this wonderful year past that has given us such weird stuff to contemplate. From the Fall of the West to the 1%, we have about seen everything.

From Northern Michigan, warm seasonal wishes to you and yours on this first official day of winter.

Happy Holidays!
