it being the weekend, I splurged with two fingers (index and middle...not index and pinkie) of oak aged rye while prepping some stir fry...followed by two glasses of cab sauv during/after dinner...today was laundry day but did get out to a short notice Indivisible action here in beautiful Beaverton (just west of war torn Portland)...looked like just shy of 1,000 folks...getting harder and harder to carry the nation's flag these days for any number of reasons...cheers, all...OSD
