Announcement: I plan to start a thread at 5:55 AM Pacific time Saturday morning... [View all]

...which will be five minutes to midnight, Guam time...the first place in this country where 2017 will strike.

When the New Year arrives in your time zone wherever you are in the world, please check in on that thread...that way, we'll all be able to let each other know the moment each of us HAS SURVIVED 2016.

This is intended to boost collective morale and remind each of us that we are not alone in the years of resistance to come.
