HAPPY NEW YEAR, BARFLIES!
ONWARD!

[theCryptofishist]

Upward!

[Savannah]

Happy last day to you too! I'm up much earlier than I really wanted to be, but hopefully there will be some kind of disco nap at some point in the day and then I'll be up later than I really should be later on

For those of you who are going out tonight, drive safe. Not just make sure you're safe & sober behind the wheel, but watch out for ppl who may be impaired. Check your state's AAA to see if they offer the free 'Tipsy Tow' - they offer it in CA (at least in the cities), if you've had a few you can call them for a free cab ride home. In SF it's from 6p-6a. And our city's Muni (bus/subway) is free to ride overnight, too.

This includes those of you who are being responsible, and going to and from bus stops and cab stands. Assume that there are some shit-faced people behind the wheel, and cross streets carefully. New Year's Eve is the most dangerous time of year for pedestrians, followed closely by Halloween.

and for those in Gerlach, remember 100yd radius from the blast minumum.
ear protection is also advised.

Well, my kitty Posey broke both bones in his right front leg, so I spent the duration at the vets getting a cast put on it. Poor kitty. Then went to Loree's Little Shack in Rocklin and partied with all sorts of burners and Barbiebarians (i.e. Red, Twist, Harmony, Blowfish, Panduhmama, Jake, Capn Joe, Sharon, Frank the Vintner, Don, Kathleen, Debbie, Garcia, Mark the Rabbi, Lucy). I had a better time than my kitty did. Oh, and I scored three (3) bottles of absinthe, of at least two will make it on the train. Not necessarily to Reno mind you, but I'll do my best .

[MisaBlue]

Good morning, friends!

Garlic soup for all who need rescue their belly after the party


And some more yummies...



You know what is great? We are returning to the dust this year!!!

[ygmir]

*wanders in, starts ECM*
Hi and happy new year, Misa!!
yes, dust, this year!!
*builds fire in scc*

lets throw last year crap, angst, anger, hurt, disappointment, sadness, loss, frustration.......etc, etc......in it, and start fresh?
"Fresh, as a winters eve"..........

[magicmarty]

Thanks for the feast, Misa, and thanks for the thoughts, YG!

(((LF)))

[ygmir]

Hi Marty!!
Happy New Year!
Are you flogging the balls today?

[magicmarty]

Hi YG, No, I am all tennised out and need a day of rest. Four days in a row are even too much for me. Doing some pottery glazing this morning and then we are off to west Marin and hopefully some BBQed Oysters out on Tomales Bay in the little wide spot in the road called Marshall. Beautiful day here, not a cloud in the sky. We'll stop at the Redwood grove in Samuel Taylor Park on the way and soak up the beauty of those giant old trees and if we are lucky, we'll see some salmon spawning in one of the nearby creeks. So, it should be a beautiful day, and a fine way to start 2013!

Hugs to all you barfly buddies!

[ygmir]

dang I'm jealous! bbq's oysters are among my favorite foods!!
I've planted some redwoods, here at my house, and at the Hof, to try to replace that which I've used over the years. Knowing how huge they get, if one makes it to maturity, I'll have replaced my use by 10 fold.
Have a great day, Pal!

[aserendipity]

Good Morning All new bff's..YGGY and Marty and thanks Missa
just considering the food for today
We hiked from Muir Beach cliffs to Pirate Cove and watched the sunset Marty . Perfect world from there.
funny how old gets slower and young faster on the cliffs of life..except when dancing
today , enjoy sunshine.maybe eat less, or more.
xoA.

[aserendipity]

YGGY , planted Redwoods (tried two kinds ) even when living in heat of Redding /Shasta
crazy then I think
but the thought of their strength was a tonic

[ygmir]

HI ASD.
yeah, ya gotta plant the right type for the climate.
Pacifica redwoods need the ocean climate, not too hot, not too cold.
Gigantia, are a mountain one, can take more extremes in weather, but need the mountain, mid level climates.
I see them in a plantation near my place, at about 6K' elevation, but I'd bet that's the upper limit.
And to grow "naturally" (no needing water or care), I'd bet 2k' el. is about the lowest.

[aserendipity]

Ah Yggy, that's the thing
NYC childhood
got the passion but have to learn all the data
planted at 2300 ft watered often and deep
plant one for my fam please?

So true ASD, except time seems to go faster at this age

[TinkerMom]

*strolls in dragging along a wagon full of lasts year crap, angst, anger, hurt, disappointment, sadness, loss, frustration.......etc, etc.....
Starts tossing one by one into the fire.....*


I'm down with that,

HAPPY HAPPY!!!!

[MyDearFriend]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Great fire, Yggy!

*tosses an armload of frustration into the flames*

Sorry about your Kitty, Doc.

[graidawg]

oh the anger and stress fires burn so well! as its now the 2nd over here i need to get to bed for work today, however as i have been having rather late nights the last few days (maybe weeks) i am going to get the ECM ready for the morning and see about setting some breakfast out



happy new year one and all 2 days til i cant get a ticket. i cannot wait for the endless threads on how BMorg got it wrong this year

[Triken]

*builds fire in scc*

lets throw last year crap, angst, anger, hurt, disappointment, sadness, loss, frustration.......etc, etc......in it, and start fresh?
"Fresh, as a winters eve"..........

Looking for all those things, all I can remember are a bit of sadness and loss, but I must have dropped them somewhere along the path...
I sure hope nobody steps in them!

Seems like this year can be the best yet... it's how we react to everything that makes the difference.
It's taken over 60 years for that to sink in!
Feels like I'm only now beginning to really live my life.
If I were any happier, I'd likely explode!
