Friday Night Vodka Buzz. Ask me anything.

Two shots to get the party started. Now a Tequila cocktail: Tequila (natch), lime juice, and a dash of grenadine. Yummy! It’s believed to be the precursor of the Tequila Sunrise.

The tastes is midway between that and a Margarita.

I love you all…

Bear in mind, I’m buzzing very pleasantly on some good vodka.

Whose chances?

We would go on and on until some one said, "pretty good," or "not so good."
And I would say, why do you think that?
And the reply would be, " because the quarterback sucked," or "they had enough gas," or something like that.
It really didn't matter what the topic was, but a conversation ensued.
It took a lot of coaxing to get there, but I bet many of those students walk into a room knowing how to get a conversation started.

May I ask a medical question?

What in your opinion is the reason Orange Idiot always seems to have a purple bruise on the back of his hand?

As we get older and lose subcutaneous fat, the blood vessels are more vulnerable to localized trauma. Which increases risk of easy bruising.

I was thinking about an old 4Runner.

What do you think?

Have a good weekend.

I had a 2003 4Runner that I drove all over Western Colorado for 18 years, only sold it when no longer needed. They are very dependable and well built. (by the way, I'm not really new here, been lurking for a time, but thought I might chime in)
