Happy New Year everyone.

Mychickies gave me an early New Year gift: 4 eggs! We've been getting one a day/every other day, but today I got 4! . Now to figure out who is giving them. I know one, but the other 3 I am not sure. We have some babies that are about 25 weeks and one definatly came from one of them, the other two I think are from girls who just finished a molt. And to think they gave them up on the coldest day we've had this winter. . Anything to keep warm I guess.

I suppose I might have a cup a Joe to help me keep my eyes open until new years.

God bless all and happy 2015!

We have had our shrimp and are now snuggling in with a fresh cuppa and hiding from the inevitable carnage.

It is supposed to be another bitter, below zero night so I just pray, what we up here lovingly call "The Crash Test Dummies" (aka the bar hopping inebriates on snow machines) all make it to their final destinations without going thru the ice, flying off the trails and into trees, falling off their machines on a trail in the middle of no where, falling off their machines and being run over by the machine behind them or running into the side of the tavern upon arrival.

BTW-all of the above had already happened this past weekend resulting in several severe injuries and at least 2 fatalities.
Why it is that city folks come north for fun and somehow forget to pack their common sense is a mystery.

Then you take and mix in celebrating local rednecks with added copious amounts of alcohol and the whole place turns into a giant carnival ride of bumper cars!!!

Oh yes, and for some reason the crash test dummies think it's perfectly safe (and legal, not) because they are not on the road, to bar hop at 90 mph in the dark across lakes and thru the woods (most the taverns up here are designated "pit stops" on the trails) yet at least one idiot tonight, without fail, will still manage to run into somebody's pickup truck.

ETA
It's already below zero F with the wind still blowing and the local news just said that there are over 2000 folks to the north without power in Eagle River, the town where the world snowmobile championship races are held and is the self proclaimed snowmobile capital of the world. People book their rooms up there for New Years a year in advance. If that's downtown, what a dangerous mess.

You guys don't have all the idiots. Rednecks around here just substitute a 4 wheeler, and they often don't need a reason like a holiday, any day will do.

You've heard their famous last words:

Hold my beer and watch this.

Oh yeah, heard that too, only up here it usually involves some form of power or logging equipment, a large pickup truck and a chainsaw

That happens here too. I guess "stupid". Is just an epidemic everywhere.
