 Year's End Roundup -- 2022 edition

 Happy 2022?  We'll have to wait and see.
 
 Finished up William Catton Jr's 'Overshoot' but decided to move on to

 P.L.A.N. for Collapse
 
 Still working my way through William Catton's 1982 book 'Overshoot'[0].
 Got distracted when I picked up "Peruvian Plunge"[1], Sam Mitchell's

 the doom, opting for more enjoyable distractions like taking advantage of
 an unusually warm Fall and an abundance of apples on our trees this year.

 film reviews:  'Hot Money' and 'Kiss the Ground'
