MadBus will run New Year's Eve until 2am....496-RIDE

I have seen many torchlight parades but I still get a thrill everytime I see one. The one at the Bush is very well done and the fireworks are awesome too.

Haha... got me a nice Timex Ironman back in 5th grade and it still works damn well... battery replaced only once...

Not like you could really see the time on the clock tower from anywhere but 10 feet away anyway...
