      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.)

      John - please consider putting this into the Fireworks pool - it is wonderful!

      Happy New Year - all the best in '06!

      The Examiner doesn't deserve to have John's work for themselves - I'm much happier to see it here :)
