People around the world can celebrate because finally, we're doing something about global warming.

Well somebody is.

I'll be handling the late shift tonight, for Op Rednose this year. If I can help keep one loaded guy off the road, all the better. I did one shift before and I've had always had people appreciate the service. (Read no $h_tdisturbers).

So!!!!!!!! Happy New Years to all of you and God bless.

Happy New Years all you old grouches. I'd love to say I'm off to a party, but I've never been to one after the age of 18.

Been having to take of the grandmother-in-law ever New Years Eve because the rest of the family abandons her.

Have fun going to bed early. Wish I could.

Nice quiet night in for us, too. Sitting by a crackling fire with the best company in the world.

We don't have it much better. Right now it's -20 and with the windchill it's -36. Once the sun goes down we're looking at -23 and with the wind picking up a bit windchill of -43. Now I don't know about anyone else but a fuzzy blanket doesn't cut it for me at -43 I want a down quilt.

You guys are killing me! I don't think I could stand that and might be tempted to set my house on fire to stay warm.

It's 6 celsius here and rainy, so can't complain about being cold and will not need to set the house on fire, and even if I did, the rain might put it out.

The worst is over here. Going to -4 tomorrow and warmer thereafter.

There may actually be fireworks here tonight. This represents an enormous leap into the modern age of civilization for this hick town after years of them unbelievably being held the previous night each year.

It was minus four in REAL degrees here this morning.....thank GOD the sun was out and it wasn't windy...... :shock:

by **Peter O'Donnell** » 12/ 31/ 10 10:09 pm

About the same here in fake degrees.

Mind you, zero for freezing, 100 for boiling, ya gotta admit, it makes a lot of sense, specially when ya consider the IQ of the average scientist nowadays.

Yes we do have a gas fireplace to curl up in front of and conveniently the city's annual fireworks display can be seen from my living-room window so no need stand out there freezing.

The gala New Year's party for two at the hacienda has concluded. RedDog dined on Tricuits with ham sausage and cheese while indulging in a cocktail. Sox the cat is uninterested in the festivities and has parked himself on a china cabinet 7 feet in the air to survey the party area. I suspect being Siamese, he's aware midnight has long since come and gone in Siam.

Bless you D.J. I spent Christmas Day visiting with my Mom at a senior's home. They truly appreciate any kind of attention anyone can give them. I am sure that is the case with your grandmother-in-law.
