Well, it's 2008 now and I'm certain this will cause me difficulty when writing checks. It will be March before I get this one down as usual.

Nothing special was planned, nor done, for our New Year's celebration. We stayed up to watch the ball drop then mosied on into bed. Today was spent updating the Web Site for January. Have you ever tried to draw a paper clip? Or scotch tape? Or a post-it note? Not as easy as I had anticipated :)

Well, here's the story for the day. Enjoy!

SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australian newlyweds kissing on the backseat of their hired car were unaware their chauffeur was street drag racing, until a police siren broke their romantic bliss and ended the race.
The chauffeur, clocked at up to 130 kph (80 mph) racing a young driver in a rental car, was fingerprinted on the side of the road and the hire car confiscated.
"It's alleged that as the traffic light turned green both the (cars) accelerated harshly from the intersection and continued to travel at speed along the highway," police said in a statement.
Both drivers were taken away by police, while newlyweds John and Laina Tauranga were escorted home in a police car.
