New Year's Eve with friends

New Year's Eve was a little more low-key this year. Courtney and I went to our boss's house for dinner -- he and his wife are both young JAs and we really enjoy spending time with them. The most interesting part of the night was the fireworks. It wasn't your typical production, just the townies out having a good time. But it seemed like everyone had bought fireworks to set off. It was amateur hour for sure. The real surprise though, was the townies who brought out their handguns and gleefully fired them in the air. I hope the bullets landed harmlessly in one of the nearby vineyards.
