To make the New Years celebrations more of a celebration I went to the wine store and bought some of the right stuff. They had a good selection, if pricey, compared to the US.

When I paid the bill I used a piece of plastic without a chip in it, which confused the young baby-faced wine salesperson. "No chip, eh?" he asked, warily. "No," I replied, "We don't have those at the 1st Inconvenience Bank of Texas. We're a bit backward that way." The saleschild looked at me and said, "That's not the only way, over there, eh?"
I grinned and gave him a cheery, "Oh yeah. Except for gun rights, we're ahead of the pack there. Happy New Year, man."

And with that, I wish you all a happy, blessed and joyous New Year.

2 hours and 20 minutes left until open carry takes effect. Happy New Year, LSP!
I'll wager that some Canuck killed that buffalo with a firearm.
Same is true of every polar bear rug in the cold and distant north.
Happy New Year Padre! Bring home the buffalo, the manse needs a mount in it.
Happy New Year, LSP

I was thinking exactly that, Jenny. Happy New Year!
I think a polar bear rug would come in pretty handy, LL, along with the monkey.
i want that buffalo, Brighid.
Thanks, Adrienne, I'll have a look.
Matt had me with his first sentence about the neighbor moving his plastic wise men every day a bit closer to the Nativity. That just cracked me up - but I'm silly that way.
Both Matt, and his brother Pat are really very funny guys.
Clearly the monkey has precedence because of generic usefulness (as discussed).
My long deceased Great Uncle Albert lived in Calgary as a young man. It was an open carry frontier town in those days. And he carried.

Calgary was right on the frontier, for sure. They had to be tough, no doubt about it...
Thanks for the link.
