Some things never change

Fireworks.
Lots and lots of fireworks.
Then the occassional rounds of gunfire.
Then the car horns.
It's New Year's Eve in south Texas.
(This will probably go on until about 2 or 3 am. Glad i'm not going to work tomorrow.)

BTW, i (finally) saw Francis Ford Coppola's The Godfather for the Very First Time. Now all those lines from You've Got Mail make sense - "Go to the mattresses", "Leave the gun, take the cannolis", "Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday". (You're thinking "Why does this guy know lines from You've Got Mail ?" Answer:My wife loves that movie.) And even though I had never seen The Godfather before, I always seemed to understand "he made him an offer he couldn't refuse". :-)

Happy 2008 !!!
