It's an NWOGEO Merry Geo-Christmas Party !
Rumors started flying that Rudolph had gotten laid off due to technological advances concerning GPS. Santa realized he could simply plot waypoints for the good children's homes and be able to skip the not-so-good children's houses. So, Rudolph got laid off, Dasher mounted an external antenna on his antlers and Dancer put a spotlight in his to light the way. Last update we had was that the only job Rudolph could find was as a mascot for a small town southwest of Bowling Green, perhaps you can visit him while you are in the area.
