Current pup’s predecessor not only refused to wear clothes but also ripped clothes and bandannas off of his friends while shouting “Dude! You’re a dog! They are laughing at you!” Current pup lets me dress him up like a doll. Predecessor is across The Bridge with head in paws aghast that I would do such.
New Year’s Day—Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual. Yesterday, everybody smoked his last cigar, took his last drink, and swore his last oath. Today, we are a pious and exemplary community. Thirty days from now, we shall have cast our reformation to the winds and gone to cutting our ancient shortcomings considerably shorter than ever. We shall also reflect pleasantly upon how we did the same old thing last year about this time. However, go in, community. New Year’s is a harmless annual institution, of no particular use to anybody save as a scapegoat for promiscuous drunks, and friendly calls, and humbug resolutions, and we wish you to enjoy it with a looseness suited to the greatness of the occasion.Mark Twain – Letter to Virginia City Territorial Enterprise, Jan. 1863
