Tom's Tall Tales - "Say Buh-bye to The Year of the Rat"

(Tribune)

You may have thought 2020 was The Year of the Pandemic but in Chinese years, it was The Year of the Rat – is that appropriate or what?
The whole “Year of …” concept is based on the lunar year. This Year of the Rat began Jan. 25, 2020 and will not end until Feb. 11, 2021 – about the time I will get my coronavirus vaccine. How appropriate.
