...police are asking people to not shoot guns in the air in celebration of the new year.

Fine old Western tradition.

Billings is getting too big and sophisticated for it to happen....much....anymore there, but between leftover 4th of July fireworks and real firearms we've always made certain our livestock and (especially) dogs are secured on New Year's Eve.

...besides the celebration, it's a real fine way to purge the locker of overage rounds.

Or so I'm told.

Just let my girls out They came back in immediately. Wind is whistling through the trees. Not a good night for fire works or shooting off guns
Got up to 60 today. Temp is going down to 30 by tomorrow this time.

Been a problem since they stopped teaching about gravity in grade school.
