De allerbeste wensen voor het nieuwe jaar!!

Or as you would have said it:

All the best wishes for the new year!!

As I post this 2011 has already started and you still have some 3 hours of 2010 to go. We've had all the firework. Thankfully the weather cooperated. At the end of the afternoon heavy fog started to develop but as midnight approached the sky was clear again. That is, until the firework started...

May we see a lot of buildings saved, may we finally see the curtains go up on the United Artists Theater stage [[or at least hope that Ilich raises the smokescreen...) and may your accountants at cityhall finally get some sense in their heads.

May Kwame spend the end of his days behind bars, may the Arcade bar thrive, and every other establishment, will the economy finally recover, may the Wings win the Stanleycup, may the Tigers play a super season.

May my club sc Heerenveen move up in the table of the Dutch eredivisie [[Soccer)!

Finally,
May all your family and all your loved ones be healthy in the coming year.

Long live Detroit!!

Peace.

Last day of 2010. We popped some old Milk churns with Carbide. The longest distance of the day was 90.70 meters [[or about 270 feet.)!! Those lids weigh roughly about two kilograms.

[[My German isn't all that great, either. I'm hoping I put the "nicht" in the proper position.)

furthermore I'm now tuned into Times square NYC.

Is there some new years party going on downtown? De upper most camera gives me a relativly clear view of the Ren Cen.

Meanwhile....
The Amsterdam police squad had their own problems. A police towtruck entered a restaurant...

Good job on your German.... Lodgedodger!!

Germans themselves usually say "Ein gesundes rutsch ins Neues Jahr"... which doesn't translate well into English........ "A healthy slide into the New Year!"...

Well, I tried to "say" it in connection with a toast, being New Year's Eve and all...
