Thanks Figgy, thanks Jimmy.

It was that kind of new year's eve. ... i heard one cop say, as he was eyeballing a guy bent over near a fountain, "First puker of the year."

But actually, it was better than that, really!

(and yeah, jimmy, there's a flaw in my camera's calendar. Either that or I'm stuck in a reverse Groundhog's Day: I have to start over every day.)
