Why you might Ask? Well have been doing it for years. Just turned 80 the day after Christmas, spent 41 years in the lift truck industry. Live in Georgia, USA.. Can't stay up until midnight any more. Have my days mixed up like a baby. So at 8:00 AM ET time on December 31 (US time), I turned on the tube tune in CNN and watch the New Celebration in Sydney, at the Harbour Bridge. It is a fantastic display of fireworks, music, boats in the water. Just luv it - mo'betta' than the Apple drop in NYC or Peach drop in Atlanta. Have a "Virgin Screw Driver" in my hand and my version of an McDonald's egg McMuffin. and no hangover to get over took me 2 days to get over it in 2007 instead the usual 1/2 a day- Stopped consuming alcohol when I retried from my 41+ year career in the lift truck industry - 1967 thru 2007. Still stay in touch with some LT friends but..... enjoy talking to Kevin Langer, Material Handling - knew Kevin when he was wet behind the ears and his Dad the late Bill Langer

To All at FAC.and Subscribers Wish All Ya'all a Healthy & Prosperous New Year
