Today was August's Valentine's Day. Since Mrs. UR works from home, some days "leaving the house" means getting the mail from the front porch. So every month around the 14th I whisk her off for a nice lunch. And produce another V-Day card. She just brought me a cocktail as I futz around on this thing. She's the best!

They're probably buying it from a grocery store...Corona is about the "highest quality" (I use that term loosely) "beer" (also a term used loosely) you can get in one of those...

Really? Is that a Minnesota thing? If so, your grocery stores suck!

Better than Massachusetts though. The only type of beer you're buying in grocery stores there is in beer-battered frozen foods (and root beer).

And, I'll admit that I like Corona in the summer. A nice, light, refreshing beer. I'd never argue that it's high-quality, though.

Agreed, though I know some states won't allow alcohol sales outside of package liquor stores, or will only allow beer sales below a certain ABV.

In Virginia you can only buy beer and wine in stores... but where that occurs you can get that everywhere... anything harder is sold by Alcohol Beverage Control (ABC) Stores.

You can only get 3.2 beer in Minnesota unless at a liquor store IIRC...

I do remember how amazed you and Brent were when you found out that you could buy KBC at the grocery store for cheaper than the taproom

That is a ripoff. It's still cheaper to buy a KBC keg at the bar than anywhere else, though.


Evening, Lodge. Pizza was a great idea tonight.

It's a very clever ripoff though, especially during the summer months. Get tourists in the tap room, put 2-3 pints in them, and impulse buying increases at an exponential rate.

With in 10 mi of the border you can get beer, wine and spirits in the grocery store.

Pizza sounds good; I had pork chops and fried eggplant tonight. Tomorrow I'm making stuffed peppers with turkey and rice.

Evening, Lodge. I had a good day at work, had a good dinner... it's time to relax.

I like it also, pretty easy to suck down when its hot

That's a new one. It used to be that a business could only have 3 licenses in the state, effectively eliminating the grocery and convenience store chains (who each have 3 licenses). The 10 mile rule to NH used to be a Sunday opening rule, to allow stores in towns that were within 10 miles of the border to open on Sundays, as long as the town approved it. I've been gone a few years though.

Yup. The Hannaford in Dracut has a pretty decent liquor selection, actually.

Well, it makes no sense. Getting it at the source should be cheaper. It's those dam voodoo economics.

It's 10:30 at night and it's still 84 degrees in the house. I've got to rethink the idea of keeping the air off until the end of the weekend. It's supposed to be warmer than they forecasted a few days ago. It was great until I got home from work today.

Re: Rep Retirement Lodge 119: Legands of the Foopers

Temp has dropped about fifteen degrees in the last hour in my neighborhood and a summertime downpour is coming down in sheets right now. Lightning and thunder, too.
