  • Happy New Year

    Happy New Year politics buddies! (I hardly read any other echos!)

    I meant to put the TV on for the ball-drop (in NYC) but I accidentally left it on the party in Nashville, TN.

    I hate country music, but if I had to choose between celebrating the new year in NYC or Nashville, I'd choose Nashville! (Country music keeps criminals at bay!)

    Happy new year to you as well. I was asleep quite a while before midnight.
    I don't try to stay up any more. That was really fun when I was a kid,
    less so as a young adult, and now it is just another day. :) I don't
    think I have voluntarily stayed up for a New Year since 2000!

    Sort of like how sitting down in a restaurant or public space causes COVID
    to bypass you? ;)

    In past years, my neighbors have made it impossible for me to sleep for the first couple hours of the new year, with all their fireworks and gunshots.
    This year they impressed me! It was quiet.

    That only works if you're a Biden inside a D.C. restaurant ;)

    With gun sales up, they might have been afraid that someone might shoot back (by accident, of course).
