I don't think Yuengling is available out here. Whenever I go to a
party, it's always wine, wine, wine. Never a beer or a decent one
anyway.

Sounds like pretentious, Yuppieville, California. LOL!

You're damn right! I hate it here... a bunch of preppy little boyz and
girlz. I live in the pretentious capital of the Cal... the People's
Republic of Santa Monica. The only two things that are any good are
the beach and the cheap rent.

I never even heard of Yuengling before last month. The supermarkets just
started stocking it. I've noticed the local supermarkets now have a large
stand-up cooler aisle for all sorts of micro-brewery beers. There is a great
variety to try. Samuel Adams has many a good custom brew, too. But, there's
just something about Yuengling Standard Lager that suits my taste in beer.
It even puts Kalick to shame.

80... sigh.. I hate cold weather! I think I need a warm vacation, but
work is work.

To heck with the work! I retired when I was fifty-five and have never
regretted it. People shouldn't work the best years of their life away and
retire only after their bodies are slap worn out so they have trouble
enjoying life and/or getting around. Few things are more pitiful than a
half-blind and crippled sailor.

I work to live not live to work... a nice, easy job.. no stress and I
get out of the office regularly.

Do you think you'll get wind for sailing when the cold front arrives
or will it be too much? Not really familiar with the weather down
there.. all we have here is fog... endlessly I think.

San Francisco? Anyway, when cold fronts pass the wind is usually quite
brisk gusting up to about 40 knots so it's best to wait until the front
passes and the winds veer from the NW and N to the NE. Once the wind is from
the NE it steadies out to around 20 knots and the sailing is fine. Also, NE
winds herald a warming trend as they roll across the warmer Gulf Stream and
carry warmer air across the Keys.

God no! I couldn't live in that f*cked up place. Besides, that's
really cold. What size is your sailboat?

Take vitamin D tablets to combat foggy days. Up to 2,000 IU's a day will
keep you from getting bummed out from lack of sunshine. Most people in
northern and cloud climes suffer from a chronic lack of vitamin D.

Heh... yeah, it can get gloomy.
