Season’s greetings
Or “Peru Looks Down At A Maple Leaf”.
Or “Austria Looks Sideways At A Maple Leaf If You Put Your Head On Your Shoulder”. Doing this may give you a crick in the neck. Strangely, maple is a very good wood for making necks. Although you have to be a guitar or a violin for it to work.

The mathematical symbol for a unit vector is called a hat. So if the hat above was a unit vector*, it would be called hat hat. If it was raining, the hat hat might wear a hat hat hat. This is known as a hat trick.
Next week: fashionably late and the space-time continuum.
*A unit vector is something that goes in a certain direction and has a size of one. This hat is going at an angle, but I think it’s a medium, so it’s probably not a unit vector. Might be a stockman.

Coffee and goats are two of my favourite things.

Twelve thousand eight hundred and fifty nine, twelve thousand eight hundred and sixty, twelve thousand eight hundred and sixty one, twelve thousand eight hundred and sixty two, twelve thousand eight hundred and sixty three, zzzzz…

Bees have five eyes.
They can see ultraviolet but not red.
Their favourite flower is the begonia and they dance the hully-gully to tell other bees when they find some.
One of these facts isn’t true.

Dull the plane?
In a roundabout way, this is a doff of the (lumberjack’s) hat to the cartoon of a person sitting on the branch they are sawing off. I’m not sure who originally drew it; a version of it is the first cartoon I can remember laughing at (I was very young).
Officially grown up
If you already have coasters, you can use these as coaster coasters to protect them. If you like these more than the coasters you already have, use the ones you’ve got as coaster coasters. If you don’t have any coasters yet, just use these ones as coasters.
I knew everything was going to be okay when I got glass ones. The coasters were clear.
