Happy New Year to all you Insane Addicts. Oh! And to those of you who think you are normal too!
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

Thanks. 2 hours from here at Jack's Place. (Fireworks are going off in the distance as I type)
One of my dogs is afraid of fireworks. She's already in the closet in our bedroom...

You know you're getting old when you're on a computer chatroom at midnight rather than somewhere else.
New Years....that is when my brain starts doing weird shit with dates. Not simple shit like dating stuff 2018 in 2019, but dating things like June 14, 2014, when it is January 21, 2019. Have no idea why that happens. I guess because I never really know the date to begin with. Anyway, Happy New Years

Yeah, I've never had a pet that enjoyed Independence Day and New Year's. The herd leader of the original pygmy goats that I had as a kid hated being cooped-up in the barn (we didn't lock them in, so they came and went at their discretion). He would only go in there to eat, or when the weather was bad enough that he couldn't escape it by being under the trees or the back porch. He also would go in the barn to hide from the fireworks.

That's pretty normal. Whether it's just because of their hearing, or an instinct to take cover from such phenomenon, I don't know. Some have the issue with thunderstorms in the same way. I live on a lake, and certain neighbors use any holiday excuse, to shoot a few off over the lake. They even did it on Labor Day. They bug me, so I can only imagine how a dog must feel.
