Just curious?

Tonight I found a bar that allows smoking?
It’s attached to a Chinese restaurant.
Strange, I thought the smoking Nazis had wiped out this particular form of freedom.
It could, if it wasn’t for the smoke, become one of my favorite places.
Only two kinds of draft beer — bud and bud light (yuck) — and only a half dozen varieties of bottled beer.
(Not a problem considering I gave up beer and facebook for lent.)
Just shocked me. And reminded me how much I don’t like smoke.
But as a Little L Libertarian, that decision should be left to the owner. Patrons and workers are free to seek other venues.
Argh!

The New Jersey Democrats have forgotten that we have Constitutional rights. Their rubber stamp judiciary does nothing to reign in the Gooferment. No wonder the “state” is a disaster.
Argh!

Homeonwer wins one. And, that is why you need full auto and big mag.
I must be getting old and stupid?
I read the artcle that said make bananas last longer by separating the siblings. And, wrapping the tops in saran wrap.
So I bought a bunch green at WalMart.
Gottem home, separated them, knotted each individually into its own walmart bag, and stored them in different places. IN the crock pot, in the microwave, in the dish cabinet, in the food cabinet.
Now I’m concerned I haven’t found them all. I think there are two unacounted for?
Argh!
When my executrix cleans out the place, I’m sure she’ll find them.
LAFF!

In my never ending quest to rediscover the old dives of my childhood — yes, I frequented bars in my high school days; one of the advantages of working real jobs with real men — was the discovery of quaint places that were friendly and welcoming.
Unlike today, where it’s a gooferment regulated expensive hustle.
Beer in high school was 20 cents; 10 cents if you had id. It was as cheap as soda. The bars then would turn a blind eye to age. And you’d get bounced forever if you were “rude”. BUt I digress. When I went into my regular place, the regular tender made a big deal of proofing me. Wonder how he knew? And I got the “legal” price.
But I digress.
I happened to try the “Mad Fox Brewing Company” in Fairfax for “dinner”.
And, incomes a patron buying a ‘growler’ of beer.
Boy, did that bring back old memories.
My father-in-law didn’t care for canned or bottled beer; said it gave him gas. So every night, and I mean every night after the family dinner, he go downstairs to the tavern with his ceramic / metal container. I was informed is was a “growler”. Conveniently, the tavern was located next door to the apartments. A while later, he’d return with a growler full of draft beer.
When the growler was “dirty”. (It had to be cleaned and seasoned. Never learned what all that was.) He’d get cardboard ones. But they deteriorated quickly.
SO, any way, as much as I try to escape the past, it seems to haunt me.
Girls basketball on TV too.
Just in case I might forget.

Marc Faber: I’m Buying Gold Because I’m Fearful of a Systemic Crisis
by Constantine Gardner
Dr. Marc Faber the Swiss fund manager and Gloom Boom & Doom publisher believes markets will punish central banks, at some stage, for their extensive monetary easing. This could materialize as a bonds market collapse or a stock market bubble.
He reckons investors should enjoy the rally while it lasts, and says he is already unwinding his long positions because when ‘euphoria’ builds up and everybody is investing, markets turn down. He also thinks investors who don’t own gold are in “great danger”.
