Jeremiah Weed? I always see it at the bar but I usually stick to beer and whiskey.

That's the one.  I am not a tea drinker under any circumstances, so I too will stick to beer and bourbon.

Yeah, plus I have a terrible head cold and fly out on Saturday, so I'm on a herbal tea and zinc lozenge swilling spree right now.  Hopefully I'm set to fly.  I don't want the whole trip kiboshed due to being a biohazard.

I'm working my last day at the old job today, and I've done all my work, so now I'm just watching the clock.  I ran out on my lunch break and picked up some USD, which is almost at par with the Canadian dollar.

So if any of us are ever photographed nude and that photography becomes publicly available, it is your policy that we should make The Community aware of it the moment we know of it, just to nip it in the bud as well as in the service of good-natured sharing? This is a great idea, both sexily and practically, Ash. It just Makes Sense.

Here is a tiny can in trade for your brochure.

Unless things have changed since I moved away, grocery stores are beer/wine only in Alabama, and even that can vary by county.  Seek out an ABC store for the best value in liquor.  I don't know how this works, but it is always a long drive to the ABC store.

Hope you feel better for the flight!

According to this hard liquor is sold only in package stores in Alabama.  Other stores carry beer and wine.  It also says that 2/3 of the state is totally dry.  Further checking reveals that Gulf Shores is in Baldwin County which is wet.

A friend and I were reading about liquor laws online at work the other day, and "moist" is a term we frequently found to refer to states or counties that allowed the sale of booze but had restrictions? Or maybe just allowed the sale of beer? But yeah, moist was how they were described. Which we found to be hilarious.

Well I want to thank y'all for your input.  I'll keep my eyes peeled and report back on what I learned about alcohole consumption in Alabama.  I fly out tomorrow, and considering my head cold is still raging, I'm not sure if I will be much interested in the hooch.  It doesn't sit well with me when ill, but I'm sure to shake it off during my vacation, which may lead to ill-advise and immediate celebratory behaviors.  We'll see.

Back from the Gulf odd that after I leave a place there always seems to be a sudden media focus on the area.  The oil spill didn't affect my time there, but seeing all the pictures makes me sad as my time there was idyllic and peaceful - especially watching pelacans dive into the water for their chow.

Also, there was wine and beer at the one grocery store I hit up, though I only hit up the one. 

A further report on the insanly tasty southern food I enjoyed will follow.  I'm almost a week into my new job so life has been a tad hectic.

I gather this has become about booze.

Why do some places in the US not sell it? I do not understand, at all. Religion? Nutjobs? The realisation that alcohol is, in the majority of cases, far more dangerous on both the imbiber and those around him compared to nearly any other drug? Are they merely relegating the status of said evil poison to the place it belongs in society, namely a place where shunning and disgust is placed upon those who abuse it?

Oh wait, alcohol's not a drug, it's a drink.

You know what sucks? Evening hangovers after you get drunk in the afternoon and take a nap. Also, life.

because our country was originally colonized by quakers, puritans, and anabaptists.
