It's not about guns. It's about Congress waking up and doing the job
we're paying them to do. Can I get an Amen to that?

Actually, it is your buddy Harry who likes to talk about his guns, very
few other people seem to have the fascination that Harry does.

Agree with your banking system being stable.

However, I have a problem with your last statement. I live in
Seattle and we have some of the best coffee roasters in the country,
including one that's within minutes of our house. World famous and
for good reason.

I will admit to having **** beer prior to the arrival of micro brews
here but that's been addressed.

Fundamentally it boils down to a more conservative (small c), and more
risk adverse management/regulation culture that prefers long term
stability to quick buck. I heard someone refer to the sub-prime/
derivatives market that whacked us: Canadian banks were up to their
ankles, we were up to our necks.

Something else that is interesting, Canadian mortgages are not tax
deductible. Mortgages get paid down there. Here we double and triple
them up. That might of had an impact on the sub-prime crisis in itself.

Funny thing about the difference between American and Canadian
Beer.... Years ago (in the 80's) , my Ex and I hosted her Brother
bringing up their 21 pc. Big Band from the University of Kalamazoo.
Three young dudes thought they'd " go get some Canadian Beer " and
drink. The fellows went and bought (of all things ) some Bock Beer.
Really heavy stuff (black ) at about 7.5 % alcohol. At the time, it
was the heaviest stuff on the market. They didn't know what they were
getting into. Watched them drink the whole 24 between 3 of them. After
all was consumed, one guy wasn't fairing so well. His buddies were
standing within earshot, and I was listening to them say " Look at
Joe, he doesn't look too good". Next guy says " oh he's alright ".
First guy starts the " he's gonna puke" thing. This went back and
forth for about 3 minutes before the guy started turning green.
Eventually, the dude scrambles for the can. LMAO !!!

Alcohol laws vary by state, and are a real mish-mash here. Some states
only allow 3.2% beer by weight (equals 4% alcohol by volume). Some
states only allow 3.2 beer to be sold in grocery stores, but allow higher
alcohol content in "full service" outlets. In many states, higher
alcohol content isn't considered "beer". It's labeled malt liquor or
ale. Then you have near beer, dry counties, etc. Weird laws.

One of my buddies from Finland brings me a six-pack of beer when he
visits the USA. I don't know how he gets it through the idiots running
airport security. Anyway, it has a very high alcohol content. As in...wow!

Used to be that way in Florida, too. Almost all bars had drive through
windows where you could get a beer, or a mixed drink in a plastic cup.

When I was in Boulder I toured a micro. They were about the only one
anywhere with bottles, not just barrels. Paid fifteen grand for the
machinery which broke down about every ten minutes. Much more time
working on it than running it.
