I'm an east coaster. I've got football int the background and internet surfing in front of me. I'm thinking only a nice cold beer in a frosted mug would make things better. Is it too early to start up the New Years Eve program?

    When in doubt, don't.

    Beer on New Year's Eve? Are you kwazy? Break out the scotch or rye or bourbon or rum or tequila or...ALL OF THE AFOREMENTIONED. NO BEER.image

    All right! I'll take that as a green light then. Unfortunately, starting a little early makes it a virtual certainty I'll be asleep before midnight...but that was probably going to happen anyway.image

    There's a simple rule to remember, as long as you can't still taste your morning toothpaste, it's OK to start drinking.

    Now since I am settled down (happily!!) I don't have to worry about the beer turning a 5 into a 10 at closing time...now I have a couple and voila, AU50's turn into a MS64's....after knocking back a few man do I have a really nice high end collection!

    Have a safe New Year everyone!

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
