I'll have to see what show it is and link it. It's for inner cities, the thing I saw was DC particularly.

No, that's where the CB shop is. You have to go east a ways to get into wine country.

Seems like they make that Boone's Farm slop out in the state of California.

Yup, Gallo Bros out of Modesto, Ca. That shit'll give you a headache that will make you wish you were dead. I haven't touched any since Tricky Dick was president.

Never drank any Boone's Farm, but I did buy a bottle of their Barefoot pisswater. It was right down there with that shit with a kangaroo on the label.

I've drank wine that went bad that was better than those two.

Don't have to imagine, I've lived in cities and had a comparable commute.

Here's a picture I took on the way to work a couple of years ago.

No stress level at all, if anything it was kind of enjoyable.

Great Picture!
That is what I miss about Ohio and back East≥..a quiet relaxing drive...no such thing here in Cali!

I moved outta LA county almost thirty years ago. Left Redondo Beach for Costa Mesa. Hell, I lived up in Silverado Cyn for four years, nearest supermarket was a good fifteen miles away and you could actually see the Milky Way at night. Meanwhile me and Patty are planning our escape, Grant's Pass, Oregon is more my speed. The Rogue River runs right through town. Patty likes Portlandia...hmmmm.
MPHolland would be right across the mighty Columbia river. Too bad he's a scotch drinker...
I'm tellin' ya, Bend is where it's at!

I remember guzzling a bottle of Boones Farms "Wild Mountain" on a dare. It came back up as fast as it went down. Now, I understand why college kids squirt cheap alco-beverages up their butts. They get drunk quicker, but more importantly it saves them the horror of tasting it.

I drank some cheap swill back in the day when I was underage. Mid 1960's.

They had this shit called Orange Driver that tasted a lot like an orange flavored soft drink except it was 20% alcohol. Then there was that good old standby "Mickey's Malt Liquor" in the wide mouth mug like jar. That stuff would fuck you up in a hurry. Back in those days it was all about getting a quick buzz cheap.

I'm 66 years old and I rarely touch alcohol.

I'll bet I drank more alcohol before I turned 21, which was the legal age back then, than I have in the 45 years since.

Once it was legal, it wasn't nearly as much fun.
