December 31, 2008 I don't remember any special activities on New Years while on patrol. All I remember doing is closing out the Launcher log book at midnight and starting a new one for the next year. Now I'm lucky to stay awake until midnight - hoping no one closes my log book. Oh well, I hope everyone has a happy and healthy new year 2009.
