New Year's Eve

Good morning, everyone, it's 8:50am. Well, today it's New Year's Eve, the last day of 2008 (thank god), me doing Christmas colors (green/red) for this site until December 1, 2009 and my 50th post for the crime blotter. I say thank god for 2008 ending because in all honesty, this year has not been the best of years at all. I'm hoping 2009 brings a better year for my family, friends, you all and myself. This is crime for this last day of 2008 (WARNING: Limits on "updates" may start around 6:00pm because friends will be arriving and we're having a big party).
