every day is saturday for retirees. My mother couldn't tell me what day it was yesterday lol. they got nothing but time.

For me though, 12 hours on a train? I had better be in a sleeper cabin with a hooker and a good single malt

Where do you get it?! I thought is was not being shipped to this hemisphere anymore? I have 3 bottles and one Pure Malt version. I don't dare drink them because I have been unable to find it here.

Hey, that's my line... I thought I had it copyrighted...

As for 'time', it is zooming by, and any of us retiredbums knows we are in the later innings or, deep into the third period.

Not sure what my fave single malt is; I have never tasted one I didn't like, at least a little. Bowmore 12 yr old is my go to, though I picked up another blt of Tomatin in FL, shich I also like, but I likes 'em all.

I get a kick out of the 'why don't we have passenger train systems like Europa, or Japan or..." The US built the interstate system and we are stuck with it. High speed, long range trains won't be 'here' in our kid's kids lifetimes, imo; gov't, lack of infrastructure, and exorbitant costs are just a few hurdles.

Good stats from your Pop, R!

Maybe AznMPower will get his wish, and they'll switch to liters so we'll stop bitching about $5 per gallon
