Everyone always wishes others have and Happy, Prosperous, Healthy, Yada Yada, "New Year". I do too, but there will be plenty of time for that.

Surprising to me, but New Year's Eve is the 13th Most Dangerous Day to Drive. I would have thought it much higher on the list. But, still 130 deaths is a lot. I don't want one of them to be one of us or one of any of our families or friends. Take care of yourself AND your friends.

I found this little tid bit: Safe New Year's Eve, but feel free to share any other tips that may help keep us all safe tonight.

BTW, while Lil Stash will be out with friends, Mrs. Stash and I will be sitting in our front room with the cats and the dog sipping on Hot Buttered Rums and trying to either stay awake or wake up in time to see the fireworks off the Space Needle and the ball drop in New York. And Lil Stash will be safe or I'll kill him!... that didn't come out right..

Anyway, Have a Safe, not-necessarily sober New Year's Eve and and a Happy, Prosperous, and Healthy New Year... all of you.

Right back atcha!

Doesn't matter how old they get, does it?

May 2012 be a great year for all!

We lost three.

Too bad.

Our big plans for ringing in the New Year were busted by Mr. Funky's crappy cold which he decided to share with me. Isn't that generous of him? So we ended up watching The Twilight Zone marathon and falling asleep by about 8pm instead of dancing to the blues and staying at a hotel so we wouldn't have to be on the road with the crazies (and could have gotten a little crazy ourselves).

Wishing you all no colds and all that other good stuff for 2012.

Just more about Stash's link.

It says it was closer to Oakville.

While they still could be relatives or friends of GHT members, none were from Grays Harbor County.
