WHAT A MESS!
DID YOU SEE THIS?
A NEW YEAR GREETING FROM NASA
TODAY IS A MILESTONE FOR THE AIRLINE INDUSTRY:
This is the 100th anniversary of the first commercial flight! It was a scheduled flight from Tampa to St. Petersburg. It took 23 minutes across Tampa Bay and had room for only one passenger who sat next to the pilot. Just like today, there wasn't much leg room and no free food service.
NEW LAWS GOING INTO EFFECT TODAY: Here's a good one, the Minimum wage goes up in 14 states.
Here's a goofy one, beginning today in Texas, all architects must be fingerprinted. What the hell is that all about?
And, on a mellow note, beginning today you can buy marijuana, in Colorado, for recreational purposes. What other purpose could there be?
.
HOPE DANIEL AND JON CAN STAY HOME TODAY: Up to 8 inches of snow in Chicago before the day ends. What a way to start the year. Traffic will be a nightmare.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN CELEBRATING THE NEW YEAR FOR THE PAST 4,000 YEARS! That is one LONG party, baby!
As far as we know, the first celebration of the New Year was in Babylon which they set on the first new moon of the vernal equinox. That was in the SPRING when the new year SHOULD start. Celebrating in this cold weather sucks. Who came up with that lame brain idea?
The same goes for Christmas. The Bible says the Shepard's were tending their flocks by night when Jesus was born. The only time they do that, in the Holy Land, is during lambing time in the spring of the year. NOT in the middle of the winter.
It ain't gonna get any warmer any time soon: I've just about given up hope of getting through the winter without frostbite.
Wind chills will be 15 to 20 below again today and it will be just as cold tomorrow and Friday morning.
To make matters even worse (if they can get worse) another arctic front will drop into the area Sunday night and Monday morning. Wind chills could be as low as 40 below. That's downright brutal. It's worse than brutal.....(what comes after brutal?)
Did you make a resolution?
De-icing issues causing delays of 15+ min. Airlines proactively cancelled nearly 300 flights today. Check airline Web sites for status.

Great news: Donations to the Rotary's Christmas Lights at Riverside Park went over $90,000 this year.
No hangover here! My beverage of choice was a glass of Sprite. If you had told me, when I was 21, that I would spend a future New Years Eve with Sprite I would have thought you were nuts!
To you young kids; party while you can. Old age will come soon enough and it will let you know when the party is over.
Another great display this year! As usual, the fireworks atop Grandad Bluff woke me at midnight. As usual, I rolled over and watched them from my bedroom without even getting out of bed. The show gets more spectacular every year.
I did not know this:
If you wear anything new today make sure it's your undergarments! It's good luck!!! Happy New Year!

AN UNDERNOTE FROM DONNIE:
"Underwear and the New Year seem to go together in many places.
In Turkey it is a custom for women to withdraw just before midnight to put on red undies, in which to greet the New Year…or whoever they may favor on that eve of tipsy judgement.
Once I was at an Istanbul New Year party and, indeed, shortly before 12:00, all the girls disappeared into the bathroom for a few minutes. Unfortunately, I was unable to confirm the tradition."

DONNIE STARTS A NEW YEAR:
"I'm starting the new year with a bottle of Colombian "Ron Caldas"....and snacks from Wisconsin.".

HERE'S YOUR NEW YEARS BABY!

15. When you go into court, you are putting yourself in the hands of twelve people, none of whom were smart enough to get out of jury duty.
WHY DO PEOPLE DO THINGS LIKE THIS?
Probably for the same reason that, in my younger Rapid City days, I rode in a pickup that did a 50 foot ramp to ramp jump over the back of a full-grown elephant.
I was never a big fan of the airline but I love this commercial!
ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE FROM AP the Apple iPhone 55 has the very best all around camera for the new year.
THIS IS JUST TOO GOOD. I HAVE TO SHARE IT. Some of you may think it's a bit too raunchy. All of you might think it's a bit too raunchy. But, HEY! "Raunchy" is my middle name!
