I thank you all for your kind thoughts.

Michael, American Samoa is in the same time zone as Shemya in the Aleutians, and, While Guam is on the other side of the Dateline, it is two zones in. French Polynesia and the Chuchi Peninsula of Russia are the first places to change the years.

Ellroon, they do the same thing in San Diego and, I seem to remember, Philadelphia, so it isn’t just the South, but people are injured by this insanity every year, and there are deaths. The morons will always be with us.

Maybe we should make it a rule that if you are going to fire your weapon into the air, you must fire directly straight up above your head… thereby taking care of the gene pool by having the pond scum clean itself! (I know, I know… wind drift, angle, trajectory… it’s not that easy.)

But anyway, Happy New Year, Bryan!

Off to buy a titanium helmet…

I think we’re also the first to start the new year (Guam or American Samoa).

Merry New Year to you, too, Bryan.

If any part of the U.S. makes it into 2008, I am grateful. Happy New Year, Bryan. Stay out of harm’s way tonight. And may 2008 be a vastly better year for all of us!

That was last year. This year I noticed the first assault at 7PM and it’s still going on.
