And then we pissed off Canada and waved the big bourbon balloon in their faces and can we really blame Canada for taking a pin to it?

Bourbon got popular and fashionable and the industry ballooned with hundreds of small producers opening up and the big makers expanding. The whole industry banked on the market stabilizing at peak. It was always gonna burst.

One of my favorite GF breads. I should make some soon.

Speaking of Extremely Fucking Canadian: Krista D. Ball's entire Spirit Caller series, set in Newfoundland, is in the sale! Buying Krista's books supports her vet bill today for her cat-who-died-during-his-last-surgery having follow-up surgery today.

I thought it was shockingly cheap. Tomorrow's CT scan I have no idea what it will cost, although I've reached my deductible so less than it would have been last month.
