Happy 2015!

It's official, the ball just dropped, people are shooting off guns or fireworks outside.  People on TV are cheering.  I prefer to thinks all the booms outside are fireworks but I suspect there are a few guns being fired into the air in response to the frequent mentions on the local news that firing guns into the air is dangerous and illegal within the city limits.  Since I live about 1 mile outside the city limits I suspect some celebrators are thumbing their noses at authority - or maybe they just don't listen to the news, but it does seem like it's going on much longer than usual this evening. I shall be satisfied with a quiet Happy New Year! I did my toasting and celebrating earlier this evening.
