I can't remember ever having a New Year's Eve Midnight quite like this.
It's 13 degrees out. An icy snow has been falling for hours. Internet has been out until less than an hour ago. Everybody's isolated, nobody but nobody is going out except to grab another log for the fire.
As a result what happened at midnight was...........
No firecrackers, no guns shooting into dark sky, no car horns, ZERO. Not even a dog barking -- absolutely silent.
If you weren't looking at a clock you'd have no idea.
That's how it should be, dammit. Time moves the same speed tonight as any other night. Midnight turns over a new day literally every day. There's nothing in there to "celebrate". Did we think midnight wasn't gonna happen:?
Dammit, this is the way it should be.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
