New Years Ball

Seems like you just can't drop in to the local watering hole on New Years Eve to have a drink with the locals and bring in the New Year. Every place requires a reservation and a rather large minimum. So we decided to invade one of our neighbors who was in the same dilema. We also decided we would celebrate it at 9PM by wathcing the New York event. However, just when the ball started to drop, the local news broke in for a flash flood warning so we missed the moment.

We had a tough time finding noise makers that last minute. The pic above shows one we found that used to belong to some Indian in New Guinea. I wasn't sure if it was just the gord or the real thing. If it was the real thing....he sure had big balls!.... or ball.
