Headline: New Zealand airport caps goodbye hugs to 3 minutes to avoid traffic jams.

That means I get 2 minutes and 55 seconds to do something else.

Will This Kill Me?

Vienna Lager is a beer made in Lexington, Virginia by Devils Backbone Brewing Company. Apparently, I'm of a small population of fans on the Outer Banks. A few days ago I was too lazy to run in to Food Lion so I pulled in to Brew Thru. The attendant looked at me quizzically until a lightbulb went off and she ran over to the fridge to pull out a six pack. Happy I didn't have to get out of my car or come up with a Plan B, I paid and went on my merry way. Not until I got home and looked at the product that it became obvious this particular bundle of joy had been sitting around for a while. The expiration said July 10, 2024. It didn't kill me, so, still a win.

What I'm Reading

Guns Up!: A First Hand Account of the Vietnam War by Johnnie M. Clark

This book is an amazing autobiography of the physical and emotional stress of war in the jungle.
