Can this day get any better?

Well, there is one way I can think of...but anyway, it has been a pretty great day with one less Rethug in Congress and a nice soaking rain this evening. I'm having a glass of bubbly...maybe the Universe will take the hint? Cheers everyone!

I've got some peanut butter whiskey, but my son in law, who is a bartender says it's pure trash. I hate whiskey, so to me, it's not as bad as most whiskeys.

A few years back, daughter was considering a career change and was studying mixology. We picked up many different liquors over a few years. Neither of us are actual drinkers, so, boy do we have an eclectic stash that I have to dust often. LOL.

Pretty sure we could find something around here to catch your interest. Got her ginger beer and Moscow Mule mugs for Christmas. I do have vodka on occasion and always keep some in the house. Takes me years to finish a bottle but I have to admit, a Mule is OK. Then again, I AM a ginger junky.

They've been promising "Rapture" ever since the beginning of time (BCE). Since their holy leaders can't get it together, maybe that can find some of Jim Jones's kool-aid.
