Howdy Jim!

-> Even bad Q is good when you're as deprived as I am. I broke down and

We thank goodness have some pretty good
Q locally, but the place we explored on this 
last adventure was certainly not up to standard.

I'm not a very big drinker. Today will be
a small exception, One for all my Military
friends who aren't here today, one for 
those who are, and one for the ones 
who are my brothers in arms that I 
never met.

-> I never bought into the concept of odourless, tasteless or premium

-> Through strict rationing I still have 1 1/2 bottles of the three
-> she gifted me with.
-> 
I still have about 1/3 a bottle of Macorix 8 year old Ron 
Vieja Reserva that she brought a number of years ago!
very nice stuff, I keep hoping I'll find some locally but
have never had any luck with it...dang state controlled
liquor stores!
chat with you soon!
