Ah, so way back. Way, way back.
Yeah, wine coolers were training wheels for underage drinkers. Ick. |
The guy that bought the land adjacent to our place tore down half a dozen houses. So, fewer houses near me than 5 years ago. :)

Sounds like the motor vehicles are gradually winning the competition for the roads. Who wants to volunteer to inform A&S?

Sadly, I'm so old that wine coolers came out several years after I'd already been drinking legally. OUR underage drinking was either cheap beer, or cheap fruity wines like Annie Green Springs. Yeesh.

Careful. I caught some s**t for suggesting that.

My favorite cocktail is my wife's recipe for margarita. That bad boy is a crowd pleaser. Equal parts of decent quality tequila, contreau, fresh-squeezed lime juice and simple syrup. Shake with crushed ice.

Same with all whiskies, IMO.
I rarely make a cocktail, I'm a straight guy. |

I've also been thinking about traffic. Suburban sprawl blows. It used to be, even five years ago, on one of my old favourite routes, that once you got beyond the last stop light in Hardin Valley, you were out in the "country." Maybe get passed by a few vehicles/mile, maybe not even that.
But now they are building, or have built, hundreds of houses out west. Empty fields are turning into subdivisions. And with that comes more and more blow-by buzzings with SUVs and monster trucks. Where's the enjoyment in that? I'm thinking about retiring from road cycling and moving to a safer recreation, like seedsbelize did. It used to be that when people talked about off-road cycling, they meant mountain biking. There's a pretty good place to ride one 10 or so miles away. Now I guess gravel bikes are popular. Not sure where I'd ride that. On the MUP? Either way, I need to get off the roads. Same spot in the Hardin Valley. 2014 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ac4d8070fb.png 2022 :( https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...c9f1ab131d.png ( man the quote function is a bit wonkyer than normal today) |

In Brooklyn, one of our neighbors introduced us to Firefly, a sweet tea infused vodka. My wife loved that mixed with lemonade, which I dubbed a Harnold Palmer.

Your thoughts mirror my own on the sprawl thing. There's hardly any farm land left around me. I used to ride to the farm land now I have to drive to it. When I moved into my parents house the rode was gravel. We were the 5th house on it. It's 9/10ths of a mile Longshore hasn't bee
OR you end up with someplace like the Peninsula, where you can still get to semi-wild places within a single day's ride, but then housing gets so expensive that people like me can't afford to retire here. |
Several years ago, I was working on a commercial lease deal with a value of about $158 million. We were having a hard time getting the other lawyer to a close, so the client drug me out to West Texas to sit down with the other side and work till we had signatures. As the end of the day came, we got it signed on two conditions - we had to buy the landowners mom a purple Jeep, and we had to got out to celebrate with the landowner and her friend. The required celebratory drink was Fireball.
It was a long flight home that night with our guts rotting. |

There's a map out there of the most popular liquor by state. It's embarrassing how many states are represented by Fireball.
