Three is pretty much it for me, these days. That's mainly because I don't have anyone to put me to bed any longer. <b>;-)</b><br /><br />Bob: I kinda like the rock and rollin'. I can pretend I'm on a boat. <b>;-)</b><br /><br />Jenny: Isn't the "dry" thing (or Blue Laws) county by county? I seem to remember SN1 tellin' me you can buy likker on Sundays in ABQ, and what about the casinos down in Ruidoso? I can't believe they wouldn't serve on Sundays... bad for bid'niz.<br /><br />The wind is the topic du jour, innit?

Still, it does prove to be inconvienent because I nearly always do my grocery shopping on Sunday's after church. No sales on Sunday means I have to come back to town some other day.<br /><br />Jeff's never seen the wind this bad in his almost 40 years.

I've found I can go all night (or used to :) ) on Rum & Tonic w.o. mouth drying out. <br /><br />For G&T I prefer Beefeaters--one of the few gins still made with juniper-berries--has a certain "tang" to it others don't imho. Now if its Martinis *tho I rarely drink them) I go for basic orig.
