teechur and DonDiego will likely be at home relaxing and enjoying one another’s company, . . . and recuperating after a Christmas visit with their 2-year-old grandson and his parents. Does the reader have any idea how energetic these youngsters are?
For those unfamiliar with the New Year’s tradition of dropping the pickle, . . . at 19:00EST (24:00GMT) on 31 December at the corner of Cucumber and Vine in Mt Olive, North Carolina a gigantic illuminated pickle drops slowly into a pickle barrel to celebrate the New Year. The event is sponsored by the Mt. Olive Pickle Company.
7:00PM may seem to some like a premature pickle plunge, . . . but that’s how they do things in the South, so’s that everyone can get to sleep at a reasonable hour. And it avoids direct competition with the festivities in, f’rinstance, Times Square, NYC.
teechur and DonDiego wish everyone in the LVA Fora and those with Huntington Press many a pickle drop and a Happy and Prosperous 2011 !
