Well at least they were celebrating... It would be Ironic when folks are wounded by "celebratory" fire. It happened in San Antonio, TX when I was assigned to my first assignement. Guy took a 30-06 and fired a round at New Years.. a Mile away a a poor soul was walking into his house and the round hit him and killed him. Back then it was big news, but like Dwana said, fairly standard practice. Hmmm….

It must take a lot of strength and courage to be out there. Thank you for doing everything you're doing. I appreciate it greatly. :) Stay safe.

Glad to hear that the gunfire was for fun and not fighting. That custom is old hat to me. Here in Texas,it was customary to shoot guns in the air at 12am to ring in the new year. I say "was" because the practice has all but died out; it may even be illegal now. Pity. What I loved most about New Year's Day as a child was hunkering down with my mother and sister and listening to the bang! bang! that surrounded us for what seemed like forever. Those were the days! As for computer games, try Star Craft. It's a war game I'm sure you and your buddies will love. I certainly do! And Trevor, here are a couple of books that might appeal to your libertarianism. One is "Viking Age Iceland" by Jesse Byock. It's about how the Norse settlers of Iceland created a lawful, self-governing society without a state. The other is "Community Technology" by Karl Hess. This is out of print, I think, but it's worth tracking down. It's about an activist's attempt to make his neighborhood self-sufficient with community gardens, basement fish ponds, and other ingenious ideas. I think you'll like both books. Well, guess I better go now. I'm taking up all your space! Stay safe soldier. Sincerely, Dwana Hi Trevor! Glad to hear that the gunfire was for fun and not fighting. That custom is old hat to me.
