PITTSBURGH - Local outdoorsman and bon vivant Noah Swayne, 38, has successfully achieved his New Year's resolutions for seven consecutive years, including giving up chewing tobacco, losing weight and adopting an exercise routine. This year he says he's going after "the big one."
"We get way too much rain in Pittsburgh," said Swayne. "It needs to stop."
Swayne's New Year's resolution is to reduce the rainy days in Pittsburgh by 50%. "I know the farmers aren't going to be happy with me," he said sheepishly, "but damn it, somebody's got to take a stand." Swayne says if he achieves this resolution, "next year I'm going to do something about Iraq."
