• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I have a very loud wooden 'clacker' noisemaker to spin over my head on New Years.It is safer than upward-directed gunfire, and nearly as loud.It is a copy of what the military used for gas attack alarmsback in WWI. Actually the same type of gizmo was used to direct troop movements as far back as the Civil War.

People beg me to bring it along on New Years Eve, and beg me NOT to bring it along any other time.
