An Early Happy New Year

I'm already off to bed, because I have to get up early for work. And down the road in Dogpatch, the inbred locals are already firing guns and shooting off fireworks four and a half hours before midnight. It'll only get worse, of course, and the dogs will make sure that I know how displeased that are with it, so it's not looking like a restful night.

Best to you and yours, and thanks to all of you responsible people who WON'T be firing live ammo into the air tonight.
