2902 - AMICOR 21 - Seleção Retrospectiva 2018


Para finalizar o ano tive ideia de fazer uma retrospectiva a partir das 1340 postagens do ano, entretanto estou com dificuldade de fazer uma seleção enxuta. Só do mês de janeiro já separei quatro de 107!?...Selecionei outras de outros meses mas esqueci de salvar a seleção. De qualquer forma estava ficando extenso demais.
Agora temos aí uma listagem que corresponde aos meses de Dezembro e Janeiro de 2018. Penso que pode ser mais uma oportunidade para muitos de meus amigos que não tiveram tempo de olhar com calma o que foi publicado. 
Acho que nas próximas publicações vou continuar com a seleção de outros meses. De qualquer forma o conteúdo das postagens desde 2004 está abeto ao acesso de quem estiver interessado em vascular o que separei.
