New Hope you avoided the gunfire
that morons do at midnight "to celebrate".

On the 5 PM news tonight they said that "scores of people had been arrested for shooting firearms at midnight last night". This was even after numerous warnings on radio, tv and in the papers that there would be a heavy contingent of patrol cars looking for idiots doing exactly that within the city limits.

Hope nobody you know got hurt or sustained property damage.

"Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow

New Fortunately, our neighborhood was sane
but we did hear the pop of some firecrackers. We commented on the idiocy of that. Then we saw on the news how Oklahoma City was on fire...probably from just such a display of New Year revelry.

Tsk Tsk.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.
