QUOTES - HISTORY TO REMEMBER

My fave quote from somebody, “I feel bad for those who don’t drink.  When they wake up, that’s the best they’ll feel all day.”

That's a good one, Josh.!!  I've heard it before (somewhere..??), but had forgotten it. It definitely belongs in this group.!!

Funny stuff guys.

LOL... Yeah, sometimes it's better to add a little levity. Some quotes and facts get pretty dry...

I think it was a Dean Martin quote

I think it was a Dean Martin quote

Yeah, definitely could have been.. I don’t know.

 I looked around a bit and found it attributed to Frank Sinatra too, as well as in a list of Irish drinking toasts.
Doesn’t matter though…. It’s a good one.!!!

Loving those guys.

Reminds me of a personal lesson I learned a few years ago.  I was driving to KY to visit family.  Nightfall hit and the weather got awful.  Was on a mountain interstate that was under construction...no pained lines, no emergency lanes or shoulder and raining so hard you could not see. Making it worse, tractor trailers would zoom by producing a wave of water.  Was white knuckling it and fearing the worst.  Then I saw a sign that said "lodging next exit."  Was hoping I could make it.  Finally got there and found the hotel.  Nerves were shot and I just wanted a drink.  No food or drink at the only hotel available.  Only beer sold in that county and I cannot drink beer due to the gluten.

Important lesson...despite what you think your plans are (I never expected an overnight stop)...never travel without alcohol!!!

TRUTH...  

Seems like, in cases like that, the "castle doctrine" should apply.!!!  Your vehicle, being an extension of your home,  should be a "protected space." A place where amnesty reigns supreme.  Oooh, I can think of several things to do in a vehicle, ..... other than just 'ride'.

"Everyone should believe in something.  I believe I'll have another drink."  I mean, you know, if I was a drinking man..!!

"Sooner or later, little sister, everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.”

"The Druid"  by Jeff Wheeler

"Macbeth's take on humanity. A tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

"Desolation Station"  by Ian W. Sainsbury

Here is another...

"Reacher chose a fried egg sandwich.  It tasted pretty good. Maybe a little rubbery. Nutritious, anyway. Protein, carbohydrate, grease. All the food groups."

From  "Past Tense"  (A Jack Reacher novel)  by Lee Child
