My wife's sister got married to an English lad living in Devon, England, so we went for a visit. What a beautiful green and serene place it is. Well, it seems the guy's on that side of the pond do things different from us here in South Africa. They drink their whiskey clean without ice. Very difficult for me, I need ice to cool it. I took with two bottles of 80 % straw-rum. The guy's persisted to take it neat like whiskey without Coke and ice for a mix. Needless to say, I saw some some very ill people the next morning. It is a great drink, tastes like rum and raisin ice cream, not for children !
Stroh -- in the U.S. "Stroh's" -- perhaps the same family but it's beer over here. We used to call it "the beer that made Detroit famous". I think you could buy a case (24 cans) for $6 back in 1974.
Sorry Tiger fans. I've been celebrating with, what else, Shiner Bock.A nice Buffalo Trace on cubes and watching the Tigers whup some Ranger a$$!
And contemplating good odd$ for Yu Darvish to win the Cy Young Award.
Pitchers' duel today.
Hi Sy,
Well, we were on the right side of the meltdown yesterday for a change......
...maybe a pitcher's duel today.
Keeping an eye on the NHL playoffs, just loses a lot if your hometown team is not in the mix.
Backing off on the tequila today.....+1 on the coffee!
Cheers,
Terry

One of the local wine stores gets a lot of "different" wines -- nice selection of South African, Greek, Hungarian. I guess that Phillips progeny made wine too:
