What did you do today?

[BlueSkyHigh]

At the height of COVID and because of other factors in our country, I was consuming two jughandles (1.5 L) of gin and vodka every couple of weeks. Luckily, I am down to one or two beers a week and am much better for it.

Wow, booze isn't cheap... even when you get a deal. I think I'm glad I'm not a drinker.

Being new to the South and this area, I didn't know what an ABC store was? Their prices as craziness on everything and that place is always busy. I can't imagine the astronomical amount of tax dollars that place generates a day, not to mention the other 364 days of the year, WOW!

The only issue I have ever had with drinking, was running out! LOL

Virginia has ABC stores as well and they are the reason my wife and I travel up the I-95 corridor to New Hampshire once or twice a year where their state-run liquor stores, easy off and back onto the highway, are very cheap in comparison and they are tax free as well!

I am not seeing the issue? I am down to a 1.75 of R&R every 3 days!

Oh wow I did not know that. At one time I seen a list of all the states listed in order of who had the highest taxes on Spirits. If I remember correctly, NC was no. 2 or 3 on that list and I think Missouri was the lowest.

I have had lots of practice over the years, compliments of the ex-wives! LOL

I am not much into watching TV, but if I happen to see Moonshiners on I will stop to watch. Not sure how much of it is real, but it can be very funny at times.

I took my pet turtle Sparky out for a walk around the block today. It wasn't a very fast trip, but we made it!
