It used to be the custom to fire a SHOT GUN into the air at 12AM New Years Eve in very thinly populated rural parts of the Catskills. There was nothing irresposible about it, small lead shot will do no damage on it's descent, and it was kinda nice to hear the scattered salute on that winter night. Shot guns and 30-30's were part of life at that time. Larry Parish
