No, we're only selling in the Austin/San Antonio region right now.

I envy the selection of tipples in the great Northwest and hope to relocate there in a year or two. Too damned hot in Texas and dry and full of crazy people!

Of much more importance, how was the weed?

And was it BYOD (Bring Your Own Drum)?

We Canadians are for the most part quite civil, even that gasbag O'Leary. A major exception to this would be Don Cherry who fortunately is too brain damaged to opine on any subject other than hockey.

Canada has enough idiots that they are never far from going over the edge. Here is an American (Pulitzer-prizewinning US journo Chris Hedges) schooling one of the CBC's more obnoxious fools Kevin O’Leary, Behold and rejoice in the epic smack down: <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/N..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/Business/Lang_&amp...">http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/N...

Our farmers' markets in Austin (5 plus we go to 2 in San Antonio) have been so slow we haven't been selling our charcuterie stuff. When people are afraid of what the economy will do they'll do without that artisan made bacon, sausage, and pates. Which means I may have another furlough week without work and the $300 I get from it, my only job. I work on the farm for my rent and won't go hungry but I wish those millionaires and billionaires who create all the wealth, jobs, etc. would start buying about $50 a week of our stuff so I can buy cat food and pay off my car mechanic!
