Did you know "This year the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl will be played on January 2, not New Year’s Day as usual. This is actually part of the little known “Never on a Sunday” tradition. The Rose Parade faced a dilemma in 1893, as New Year’s Day fell on a Sunday. Parade organizers were afraid that the parade would spook the horses located outside of churches along the parade route for Sunday services. The “Never on a Sunday” exception has been observed ever since even though people no longer use horses to get around Pasadena (or anywhere obviously). This year will be the 15th time the exception has come into play."

DYK I drove <2,600 miles in 2016
Just over 60K total
Not bad for an 11yr old truck

DYK that my nearly 23yr old Toyota PU just died a couple days ago. I'm starting 2017 with a dead truck in my driveway, a dying chicken in my livingroom, a broken water heater & a jury summons... Can I go back to 2016 now (or at least back to bed?)
