I don't drink anymore...
Yes, you heard it here first. I don't drink anymore. Times have changed, gas prices are through the roof, and I've made a choice that I'm pretty damned proud of:
I don't drink any more...
...however, I don't drink any less.
kerrcarto, I hope you're well-stocked on those Shiner Bocks cause I plan on puttin the hurt on a few of those guys. I have already put aside some ca$h to make sure my Tab is covered (and then some). If Paul starts bustin' out the Crown Royal, please make sure I am nowhere near a campfire, 'cause after that shit I tend to navigate towards the burning embers.
It's a curse!

Ya'll are so lucky.
What can I say. The New York Times actually got something right. On their top 31 places to go this summer they picked the Texas Hill Country as their top getaway!
“Thus, here are 31 options — from river rafting in eastern Oregon to biking in the White Mountains of New Hampshire — for a great summer vacation. Not one involves the terrifying conversion of dollars into euros, many can be enjoyed without ever getting on a plane, and the road trips are ones that actually justify filling up your tank, even if the price of gas hits $5 a gallon this summer.
1. TEXAS HILL COUNTRY
Who needs Europe? The Texas Hill Country, west of Austin and north of San Antonio, might be the next best thing to crossing the Atlantic. The region is lush, colorful and, unlike much of the pancake-flat state, dotted with beautiful green hills that are evocative of Tuscany or the south of France (with less pussies) . Moreover, the region is speckled with 22 wineries (www.texaswinetrail.com) that buzz with food and music festivals year round. And towns like Fredericksburg offer a taste of the Old World, with German-style biergartens and schnitzelhäuser."
Now, we that have lived here our whole lives have known this for years, but it always takes the NYT a while to figure things out. So for all you peeps comin down or up or sideways to the Conservative Writers Annual Texas Function (does that help any CD?) just drop your thanks in the comments to Supergurl for giving you bragging rights at work. When your co-workers start bragging about going to Florida or California or the South of Wales, you can bitch slap them with “Oh yeah I’m going to the NYT #1 vacation spot this year, so suck on that.”
See ya’ll in 20 days, you lucky bastards.
