That is a WASTE of a drink if it is a non-alcoholic, alcoholic beverage. Just moronic...
Middlesboro was in a dry county. You couldn't buy beer but you could buy Near Beer, an alcohol-free beer that hardly anyone liked. Tennessee was three miles away and you could get beer there. We used to say there was Near Beer here but there is beer near here.
Living in Cumming...I'm sure he is.
Back in '78 (I think) I was in Fulton County Stadium with the ex-wife and a friend for the final game, no. 44, of Pete Rose's hitting streak...and the next game when it ended.
Then the MLB strike came....and I basically haven't watched baseball since. Me and Bert (I believe).
Nor have I watched. No interest
Still working on my rebuild. Things can get messy.
Here 's a "Cab Forward" in case he's lurking.
Double the alcohol.
Threw a chicken casserole together and it is cooking away in the oven as I type. I know what I'll be eating for the next couple of days.
Ha, I knew at least three bootleggers in Middlesboro and I wasn't a horrible drinker back when I lived there after getting out of the Army.

Here ya go then... (I mean, I want you happy!)
Back when I was in H.S. here in Ohio...Ohio had 'Near Beer' but up here it was 3.2% alcohol. Some called it Near Beer and others just 3.2. You could get it/drink it at 18. Didn't know/pay attention to alcohol laws while I was that young...was kind of disappointed when I got to Lexington and you had to be 21 because it was all 6.0.....no 3.2.
Talking about deer hunting, I worked at the "atomic plant" near Paducah for ten years or so (long enough to get a small pension). It was on land Alben Barkley bought from local farmers and sold to the government. There were a lot of deer on it and people hunted there sometimes. A a guy was hunting one chilly rainy day, so he sat in a field with a brown plastic bag covering him from the rain and a teenage boy shot him through the heart thinking he was a deer. They found a bunch of empty beer cans around his body.
Not sure why anyone would drink a beer without the alcoholic content. Heck drink liquor, it's quicker...
When you're 18...it's cool. Made you seem that a big shot....right of passage...etc. Didn't drink much of it in that I've never been much of a drinker, but would go out with some of my H.S. Senior buddies. We were cool 😉
Plus, couldn't get liquor at 18 (legally). Looking back I'm sure 3.2 didn't have the kick of hard cider.
Oh, there was no shortage of places to buy beer. Most bootleggers wouldn't sell it to you though unless you had at least entered puberty or close to it.
ROTFLCGU.(That is the senior version of ROTFL.)... In Middlesboro back when I was there, if you could get out of a car yourself they'd sell to you... 🤣
Just watched Magnum Force with Clint Eastwood and Hal Holbrook. Loved those old cars. Ha ha, new back then.
Clint will always be my favorite. Followed closely by Charles Bronson.
A man's got to know his limitations...
Saw “Bullitt” again recently. Steve McQueen, young Jacqueline Bissett, and a Highland Green 1968 Ford Mustang. Top five car chase scene.. That movie had it all.
Gotta say it because everybody over 50 knows it, The French Connection car chase scene is the best of the best.
I wrote to my friend and stated, that movie did not have it all. I didn't have trains, or trucks, or Momma, or gettin drunk... (I had to do it in memory of David Allen's song...)
I remember back in the 70s going to reds games and they only sold 3.2 beer. sat through many double headers gagging that stuff down. i don’t remember the year they started selling 6% but i was damn glad when they did.
My mistake. Can't forget about The Duke.A little prejudiced but; JW, CE, CB, and Cagney in the mix too.
Momma got runned over by a damned ol' train.
To Live and Die in LA has a great car chase. Mr. Majestic has a good one too. Supposedly they used the same truck for the whole movie. Built Ford tough that one was.
Have you seen this?

How could I forget. The guy just wanted to get his melons picked.

So......I dug up the Elephant Ear plants that we have in front of the house.......and cut down my banana trees........I cover the trunks of them up with leaves till next March.........curious thing is......the banana tree had just started blooming the first of September.......the Elephant ears were the last of Sept......they both normally start blooming about the middle of July..........as most on here know......I raise and fly homing pigeons.........normally they are finished molting by the end of October.........my loft looks like there was one hell of a pillow fight........and it will be another three weeks or so before they finish up......over my 60+ yrs of raising pigeons I don't remember my birds being this late into the season with their molt.....I traditionally start pairing my birds up Thanksgiving weekend for the coming year..........I won't be able to start that early this year...........just seems curious to me.......why things...........nature wise seems delayed.......unless it is because of the Wuflu........
Our fig had just started fruiting in September also. Now the frost may have killed it. Weird that it tool so long and actually put out fruit. It's probably because of all of the crap they've been spraying to alter "the climate" at will
Good morning, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite.
