Wow January thread already, your quick. Happy new year.

 

happy new year all.

 

Happy New Year! I wish everyone a great 2009

 

Merry New Year to One & All!

 

 

Welcome 2009, so long 2008, it was nice to know you. Long live 2009.

 

You're gettin' an early run at it today, Bill

 

Yeah, I guess. I was in bed by 9 last night, so this is the dropping ball for me.

 

Same here. We don't do a thing on New Years other than try to get to sleep before the noise starts. Got a damn phone call at midnight from a friend wishing a happy new year. I appreciate the wish, but he could have waited until today.

 

LOL, was he drunk?

The fireworks woke me up at exactly 12, but they were very light compared to some recent years. I don't know if it was foggy yet, it sure is right now. The fog might have put a damper on the outdoor activities.

 

Well he was awake, so there's a good chance that he was.


Does York Field still have fireworks displays? We used to go see them over there when we were little kids.

 

I don't think they ever did for New Years. You are thinking of July 4th. They skipped a few years because of tight budget in Whittier, but this year they brought back a smaller show for the 4th. But IMO that was just a concession over the battle going on to allow firework sales.

It was a great show years ago. I can see them from my front porch now, but only the big/high ones, so I don't know how good it is. They charge now to get into the park and it's a community party kind of thing. Not of much interest to me.

 

This post cracks me up-

I was thinking of starting a So Cal thread where we could post links to the most poorly written, misspelled, stupid, or just plain wrong posts. Sort of a Darwin's best kind of thing.

 

Ah - so the fireworks that woke you were of the non sanctioned variety? Nice.

Better than gunfire though - I'm sure there was some of that going on, but I didn't hear any.

KFI's going to have live commentary on the Rose Parade this morning. (Resnik in for Handel).

They did it with Handel a few years ago and it was a riot. If you are like me and are watching the parade for whatever reason, try turning the TV sound off and listen to the radio broadcast - should be entertaining.
