I love how I get the unholy beatdown of the Seahawks at the hands of the Colts piped into my living room, but I have to go a more seedy rout to see Baltimore and New England -- two of the premier teams in the league. Makes tons of sense, CBS. Of course I can easily watch every Bengals game ever -- whether I want to or not.
Recently I started reading Forces of Habit, which is a book on how drugs (legal, illegal, and pharmaceutical) shaped the modern world. I must say, its quite an interesting read, and so it led me to thinking about dry counties. To me it makes next to no sense at all. If someone wants to drink, it isn't as if they aren't going to truck it in from the neighboring county anyway. There's also the failing logic of making alcohol okay for purchase in establishments such as Applebee's so as not to deter business, but still prohibiting "take-home" sale of liquor (a la Scott County). Y'know, because it makes tons of sense for one to have to drive out, drink their liquor and then drive home versus consuming it in the privacy of their own home. A+ work, dry counties -- you cracked the mystery, Scooby. I won't even delve into having dry counties galore in the state where some of the best whiskey in the world (Bourbon, hollaaaaa) is produced.

this blog is the only thing that keeps me from killing myself :)
