Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for December 31, 2021

How many hours before it’s Midnight at home?

It’s good to observe the New Year in various time zones. That way, you can just celebrate when it’s New Year in Rio de Janeiro and then go to bed.

“The Thrilla in Manila!”

“Midnight in Manilla” sounds like a good title for a Film Noir

A whole lotta kissin’ goin’ on tonight.

Once a neighbor organized a Dublin New Years party. Worked out to 6 PM CST so it was very conducive for us old folks.

Hey Arlo – don’t forget the 15, 30 and 45 minute zones!

Anything for a kiss!

24 kisses in one day? Wow something to look forward to. Not that I would need an excuse

The natives are rest deprived tonight.

I love Arlo!

It’s fun to watch New Years arrive before breakfast, Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney might be the best. Happy New Years to all!

Gisborne NZ claims to be the first to welcome the new year as they are closest to the International Dateline.

That will make my Filipino wife smile.

Wow. I wish I had a wife (or girlfriend) who would play along like that. You could get a lot of kisses in. (I think we all wish for something similar.)

Arlo knows they’ll be asleep by 10 pm in their time zone so he needs to get things started early.

Yesterday something in conversation occasioned me to do some quick guesstimation and I pointed out “it is midnight in the Canary islands.” I was probably wrong but I might have been right.

For Y2K, the entire IT department had to spend NYE at the NOC. This despite three years of prep and being one of the last time zones in the world to hit midnight. 22 rounds of ain’t nothin’ happening.

The sun’s always over the yardarm somewhere for drinking purposes, I like this use of time zones.

I used to do something similar, but now at 70 years old we just kiss hourly all day, with only one ‘Grand Finale’.

Happy New Year to all!

Her own personal coo-coo clock… ☺

Note his smile…midnight in Manila is code for sex.

An oldie from 2014; but still a good one

Or a cheap perfume, ala Midnight in Paris

Oh, look. Now it’s midnight in Mexico City, south of the border.

Give me a kiss to build on and my Imagination will thrive upon that kiss. Sweetheart I ask no more than this, a kiss to build a dream on. Sung by Louis Armstrong.

A Happy and Covid Free New Year to all especially Jimmy Johnson who makes us laugh and smile.

Doesn’t take her long to catch on!

gonna be a long night

NOTHING Happens in Kiribati

December 31, 1994

This date is skipped altogether in Kiribati as the Phoenix Islands and Line Islands change time zones. The International Date Line bisected the island republic into two halves with the western part of the republic 24 hours ahead of its eastern part. To put an end to this situation, the president of Kiribati announced that on 1 January 1995 the International Date Line would henceforth run along the eastern boundary of the republic, thus eliminating December 31, 1994.

Go to Australia and you can do that every half hour for 90 minutes.

How may time zones does Arlo plan to celebrate?

I was on a crew flying an airlift mission to Japan on new years eve. We celebrated the New Year in-flight about a 1/2 hour before crossing the IDL, making it was New Years Eve once again. We minimum (12 hr) crew rested in Japan and began flying east. We celebrated the New Year in flight once again, just before crossing the IDL.

how sweet

“It’s is a magical word . . . Let’s go exploring.” 31 Dec. 1995 :-(

Busy day.
