Too Much Sun
So I got too much sun on my arms today! Two hours on the scooter today (we had until 11 am to return them) and they look a little baked. I'm not sure why that happened today and not earlier :(
I think I'm going to find some cooling/soothing lotion more sooner than later....

New Year's Resolutions
So I don't do New Year's Resolutions any more. People generally don't keep track and they tend to eventually fade away. I found out about the 101 in 1001 list on-line. What you do is make a list of 101 things you want (and can) to do and you have 1001 days to complete the list. They need to be measurable like how many pounds or how many miles you plan to walk per day. This gives you almost three years to complete the items you put on the list. It can be as simple as “taking a warm winter vacation” or “visit Costa Rica again”, or even do “taxes on-time”.
I'm just bringing it up since it's that time of year and I'm sure a few of you have already broken a few of the resolutions that you've already made. I've been doing mine for just over a year and I've completed 30%, and I still have 18 months to go. I'm sure I'll hit 90% (at least 80%) and that's probably better than the average person does on the old fashion list of resolutions.
Here's the link to the originator of the 101 in 1001 list with their rules.

New Year's Eve
So it was crazy here on New Year's Eve. People all over the beach: camping, parked on the sand, surfing, anything you can think of. Way more people than I've ever seen and it just got crazy as the night went on. There didn't seem to be an organized fireworks, just everyone was launching there own from all over the place. It was all totally unsafe. The one (blurry) picture shows people, cars, music and fireworks all on the beach. It was crazy!
A lot of the restaurants were closed, having private parties and the rest were full. Some of the bars were totally packed (generally the ones that were normally dead) and one was flowing out into the streets.
We just hung out with the beach madness and watched all the fireworks and (of course) people watched. I went back out later and road the scooter around to see what was going on, but other than a few hot spots, it had died down (a bit) by about one-thirty am. But I could still hear music and fireworks while I was in bed. A lot of people we still on the beach in the morning but it had all cleared out by noon. It looked like great surfing for the people that hung around today though...
I have two photos here and I'll post more on my Flicker page.
