If bottles are the problem, I am willing to go together with other folks to buy a cask of bourbon - to be stored at my place of course!

I didn’t get it. Guess I’m just not as sharp as the rest of y’all. 🤣
I don't get it either.

There's probably little opportunity around TV to operate a still, but I'll bet those out in the boonies are pretty darned happy right now. lol

Yep, I visited my brother in the hills of Kentucky last month and brought back a nice supply of the "white liquor", but their prices have gone up a little as well. Guess it's getting harder to bye gallon bottles of water now for the jugs....

Default Not vaccinated

I have been surprised that 2 people that came to the house to do something were not vaccinated and neither are their families - they were 30 or 40 ish. One was going to measure the floors and started to walk right in no mask and didn't say anything. I guess I'm back to acting like 2020 since phizer is below 60% after 6 months.

That's one shortage that I will not notice. Although, there will undoubtedly be a few more angry seniors added to the masses here in TV land. Probably see less of the regulars dancing in the squares when they run dry. Some of the regulars won't have the bug killing alcohol to rid them of possible covid infection so they better run out and get vaccinated. Better to have the vaccination side effects than living through their DT's. Better stock up on mouth wash before the alcoholics run out of their liquor stockpile.

I'm covered no matter what. I got the first two jabs, PLUS I make sure to ingest lots of alcohol when I go out.

By the way - there's this really neat-tasting coconut majito at Ay Jalisco. I tried that yesterday. Very tasty, pairs well with chips and salsa

We used to make our own Mead - it was too good. Now that I am no longer able to drink this wont affect me.

Did they bring alcohol with them. That is the question.
