Vaguely Halloween themed Old Fashioned. Blood orange peel muddled with brown sugar and angostura. 1/4 oz maple syrup, 1/4 oz maraschino liqueur, 3 oz Makers Mark bourbon. I could call it an "Old Fashioned Scare" or something, if I were a twat, but I'm just going to drink it.

There's a bit in Karate where you have to do the Kiai thing and make a vocal exclamation as you punch but it doesn't have to be the phonetic word "Kiai" and could be any 1-2 syllable vocal exclamation. I can't decide between the Doctor Doom "Bah!" or just the 1970s "Hiiiii-ya!" sound.

I like how Newcastle is not even slightly anywhere near being included in this grid, which is probably an unintentionally accurate portrayal of how the rest of the country thinks of Newcastle. Everything inside the grid is just "southern evil" from our perspective as well though.

FB Memories reminding me of that time I evacuated from Hurricane Irma, 8 years ago today. That was a strange and convoluted journey.
