I had my unsafe and insane New Year's Eve's. More than I can count. You have to remember that I was a musician by profession. When we played on New Year's Eve, we would always admonish the audience to be careful driving home, because there were so many amateur drunks on the road. They didn't have to worry about us professionals, we were experienced.
Unfortunately, there was more than a grain of truth in that statement. I can think back to many nights driving home from gigs when I had no right to be on the highway, but, fortunately, I never had a problem.
P.S.
Safe,
Sane, and
SMART all start with "S." Coincidence? I think not!
