[dixiegrrrrl]

And same tomorrow.


My poor lil doggie can continue to sleep relaxed, and the kitties don't have to jump off the bed and run and hide.

hot damn!

some of the local yokels fire off stuff that sounds like a cannon going off.
and some fire guns into the air, cause that is so damn macho....

1. Jealous. We just had 2 cannons go off. Why can't these jckasses just

Drink and pass out? Just pass out already!!

[lpbk2713]

2. Seems like every January 1st I hear on the news ...

where someone gets hit by a bullet that was shot in the air around midnight.

Dumbasses.

3. Lucky

Here in Nashvegas, there's just a drizzle of rain and the fireworks have been going off like Baghdad 2003 for the last five hours! Dogs are beside themselves.

4. No way could we get this town to ban the damn things.

Grateful for the respite.

[Warpy]

6. Plenty here in NM

It sounds like the war started at 9PM. It's still 40 minutes to 2017.

7. Same here in suburbs of Houston.

10. It's so quiet here in Caballo...

my husband came out of the bedroom at midnight and said "Happy New Year." It was so quiet here, I didn't even know it had hit midnight yet.

[Packerowner741]

12. Caballo as in New Mexico?

[pamela]

13. Yes. n/t

16. I live down the road in El Paso

How's the lake? I used to love coming up there to fish, boat and just spend time until the lake level there and elephant butte dropped so much. I preferred Caballo because it's so quiet.

17. Caballo Lake is great.

The level seems about the same this year at Caballo but Elephant Bitte Lake is really low. We spend winter going back and forth between Elephant Butte Lake State Park and Caballo Lake S.P. in a motorhome. Ahh, yes, the quiet...that's why we stay here. Off season, both places are heaven.

Welcome to DU, btw!

8. They are banned here in KC

but no one pays any attention to the ban.

[dixiegrrrrl]

9. Not allowed to fire a gun in town here.

I hear them go off more here than I did in San Francisco.

[aikoaiko]

11. I bought blanks for my .357 to celebrate safely.

I haven't used them yet but should the need arise I'll be ready.

[csziggy]

14. It was drizzling here last night and they still set off fireworks

Fortunately my cat doesn't care and the horses are used to explosions.A different neighbor had a firing range on part of his land bordering the farm and spent all day Friday practicing his shooting. Since that happens a few times every month, our horses are pretty much bomb proof.

15. There were some fireworks and some gunfire

here at midnight. St. Paul, MN. Not as much as usual, though.
