Hey Matt -- thanks for the heads up. Yeah, any inclination I might have had for gambling was certainly cured by the years I spent working in Vegas. I did not want to be one of those! But this looks like a sweet deal that could be chalked up as a charitable donation. As you said, nothing wrong with 32nd prize in this setup. I just spent 50 bucks last week for some small batch Michter's Rye (inspired by your top-shelf Manhattan) and that's just one component of 29th place. I might give this a shot. Let me know if you get involved. Thanks again for the tip! |

Old-fashioneds for the house if I make it. |

Second! Hell, I’ve never had a Manhattan (that I know of), but I’ll get the third. You boys might need to carry me out, or maybe I’ll just drink Diet 7-up and make a cheap date for ya’ll… 🤓 |

No problem. It’s often been the story of my life, and I don’t mind one bit… no Uber for my smashed friends! … |

Be safe you two. Growing up in Florida, I know hurricanes are not to be taken lightly. |

Hang in tight DOME! Batten down all your hatches and put some super glue on Tequila’s perch. Best of luck, my friend! … |

Got hit by winds of 50MPH with wind gust up to 90mph. A ton of rain (good, we needed it). Little damage so far. Expect the worst tonight.
In the washed up dirt foiund a hole with a very old bottle in it. Thought what the hell and rubbed and out popped a Genie and said to me I will grant you one wish and only one wish...
So me thinking about the Hurricane getting worse I said can You stop the Hurricane? The Genie replied, Sorry Do Me not even I have that much power. But since I couldn't grant your wish I will grant you another...
So I thought and thought and then it hit me and I said, "Can you fix the Yankees and have them win the 2023 WS?
The Genie rubbed his jaw and said, Hmm, lets take a look at that hurricane again...
