And aren’t you glad you’re not doing this on the WSJ site, 1000 characters at a time.

I was feeling super inadequate since most of the immediate world had solved it and I keep getting stuck with bigger and bigger rabbits, FINALLY it occurred to me what was going on and from there it was a quick swim towards shore. I'm not actually coming onto the beach, FAR too may people for social distancing, but if you would kindly float out a double of Weller's 12 year on the rocks I will gladly yell bon mots back and forth from my inflatable raft.

With you gone, Isaac just closed the bar on the ship

Buffalo Trace neat, please (if you can find it)!

Speaking of Buffalo Trace, here in Ohio it is VERY hard to find. Most stores get one case maybe once a month. Then a year ago I went up near Winnipeg for my brother in law’s 50th birthday. The liquor store in Steinbach Manitoba (which didn’t exist when I lived there 16 years ago because it was a dry town), had a large shelf full of it as well as little airline bottles of it. What gives?

All of the Buffalo Trace distillery bourbons are difficult to find (Buffalo Trace, Blantons, Rare Eagle, Michters). Fortunately (or unfortunately), in PA the state owns all of the liquor stores (State stores we call them), which makes the Commonwealth of PA the largest purchaser of wine and liquor in the US. the downside is that, well, it's state run. The upside is that they get ample allocations of lots of usually hard-to-find wines and spirits. When the pandemic hit, I had to get several bottles of each of the brands mentioned above because, hey, the state stores were going to close down and who knew when they would reopen?

For those of you who were a little saddened to get to shore so quickly (not me) and haven't seen it, Patrick Berry's Saturday puzzle is pretty fun to fill in some fun solving time.
