People Who Throw Cigarette Butts-Why I Drink
Driving behind a car. Nice car, not super nice, but nice. He comes to a full stop at the stop sign. Long full stop, no one coming. WUCK? I think. Oh well, some people just follow the rules even in California. Then, not 200 yards down the road, he flicks out a lit cigarette butt […]
Bourbon Heritage Month-What it Means to Me
When I heard it was National Bourbon Heritage Month, I was astounded. Mostly astounded that they had actually passed some Senate resolution at one point in time for that. Or so interweb legend holds.

Helloooo Ms. Arms are for Hugging – Why I Drink
