The @Kroger store across the county line just stopped being dry. Nice to be able to quickly grab some beer.
However, I feel bad for the folks that pick up the @SycamoreBrewing IPAs that are over a year old!
It always seems that distributors dump old stock on new locations...

@Gimletmedia must realize that they are no longer making podcasts. They are making a show for @Spotify, and that is a significant difference.

Listening to a podcast, and the host says, "Everyone knows the band Morphine..."
No...no they don't.
There has not been a time, since the early 90s, that I haven't turned someone on to the magic that is their "low rock" sound.

OK brain... it's only six numbers.
Surely, you can remember just six numbers from the time it takes to read a text and go back to the login screen...
My Brain: Would you be willing to accept 5 of the 6 digits, in something close to the original order?
