Oh, the 20s were a few years even before my time.

I took a snooze, so now I'm up to watch the ball drop and the fireworks on top of the space needle -

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Went over to my brothers, who had about 10 people over for a potluck dinner. I made the 'mistake' of getting a full glass of sangria at 8:00. Napped from 9-11:30 on a comfy couch. Missed most of the party, but to be honest, i really wasn't that interested in the first place.

Happy New Year!

We watched our youngest, year-old grandson while the family celebrated. He refused to go to sleep so we all watched the ball... descend like a giant sparkly testicle.

We have a lot of fire works at the moment

Is that the artificial burnt grass/tarmac surface that you have laid on your drive?

"Ball drop", "space needle" WTF... You weren't napping when you wrote this sci-fi stuff?

Nah it's just a gravel driveway that needs more rocks. Plants started growing through but I sprayed them. They looked better green than brown though haha. They are mostly gone now. I really should go buy some rocks before spring..

BTW, nice 'gansta' car. Did such a car have a star role in the opening credits for Starsky and Hutch?

Almost every movie the bad guy drives an old black Lincoln. It's appropriate for some reason. I'm not much of a gangster but I feel like one when I drive it, lol. Also I did go 2" over the 70s size white walls just for effect..

Interestingly, when the 'gansta' was using such a car they weren't "old" Lincolns.. But relatively new.. Either crime pays or the Lincolns depreciated heavily..
