It's generally been moderately available up here, just quite expensive. But yeah, I'm a fan of pretty much everything Bruichladdich releases. The one Black Art release I splurged on a bottle of years ago was probably the best whisky I've ever had.

Was sitting at a gate this fall with a guy hacking his lungs out and joking with his friend that of course he got sick at some outdoor festival surrounded by people. I was wearing a mask already, offered him one and he started giving me shit about how masks don't do anything. Darwin moves too slow.

I really need to find some way to take a picture of all of my current stuff. This is about 1/3 of it:

Now if you want to talk about Scotches...

Have only had a few of those. Being in Canada limits the bourbon options to some degree (even more so currently). I know the Weller stuff is crazy allocated in some states, and stocked by the case in others. I'm guessing you're in one of the former. I'll have to vote to Eagle Rare of what I've had.

I know why they use them but damn I find hand IVs painful. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

They rolled out a new system that would be better if funded properly, and instead substantially cut the number of busses, even on major commute routes. We shouldn't be surprised, the current mayor got elected by promising to spend billions on road works and he's doing it. No $$ left for Transit.

Yeah, I know it can be very discombobulating when things that far outside the norms occur.

I hope you told the staff so they could remove those bagels (and hopefully charge him for them next time he's in).

I mean that floorplan was DEFINITELY done by AI. Or an idiot. Perhaps an Artificial Idiot.
