this reminded me of something from the other day..

I went to a local place to pick up breakfast sandwiches..as I was sitting and waiting there and drinking my root beer there was a group of 4 guys in their 60s or 70s sitting nearby having their breakfast..all dressed in flannel and hats..anyway, one guy said he read something on the internet the other day that the federal government is trying to pass a bill that allows people to only have 2 beers per week and also said he thought Canada would do the same thing..

They used to have a model of slip-on that was the most comfortable pair of shoes I’ve ever owned. I’d give almost anything to have bought 5-6 pairs of them back when they had them.

Guys in their 60s and 70s are freaking out about this everywhere. Didn’t realize illiteracy was so rampant among that age bracket.

this place carries a locally made root beer that comes through the fountain and they use that soft pellet ice...I always order it there no matter what time of day it is...
