It's okay! Gun's not loaded... see? – John Marshall Alexander, Jr. (Johnny Ace)

It is a cautionary tale from decades ago, but it is still true today. Every gun is loaded. So is every New Year. Be careful where you're pointing that thing. And let's not even talk about good intentions. They are the most dangerous weapons of all.

Happy new year, Ricochet.

Have you broken any resolutions thus far?

    I resolved to break all of my resolutions. But, alas, I have not done so yet. The day, however, is still young. Happy new year to all of my friends at Ricochet!😁

    Have you kept that resolution then?

    In case I was too subtle, those were supposedly Johnny Ace's last words.
