Sure, but do you have pictures? :D

Likewise, the Coast Guard would only operate near major metropolitan harbors, leaving small-craft operators in most of the country SOL if something went wrong at sea.

True, but your example compares security forces to the mail. The problem with the postal service is that they have never grown-up to meet the demands of today's economy. They've raised stamp and direct mailing prices while demand plummets. If they CO jacked up prices as people stopped flying them they wouldn't survive.

Speaking of Duvel, will a 750ml bottle get you trashed like some people claim?

Teh ALCOhol Bailment Center (ABC) specializes in wine storage, with only modest carrying and stocking charges (payable in wine, naturally).

Yes. But do you want to deal with the onslaught of thousands of disgruntled (former) Postal Workers if the USPS gets disbanded? :D

It will get you reasonably tipsy. If you hammer-down a couple double-whiskies afterwards, you can certainly get trashed.

I had over a day to catch up on; sorry I had to do it :rolleyes:

Plus1 picked up peaches on our trip to HHH. He picks peaches the same way he picks avocados; he feels the harder the better. :rolleyes:

Needless to say; the peach shortcake I was making (with bisquits the way it's intended) took much, much longer and was not done with fresh peaches, but sauteed peaches. It tasted fine but took 30 minutes longer than it should have. No more peach picking for Plus1.

And now I'm craving peaches.

I did that recently (though with a Unibroue product, not Duvel). I called it... "Tuesday night."

Peaches and Pecans, I must be from Georgia and not know it.

Dried apricots are nice; fresh peaches YUM!
