Lacking watermelon cocktail, I substituted fresh juiced watermelon. Lacking Barritt's Bermuda Ginger Beer, I substituted Reed's Extra Ginger Beer. The lime remained the same. Not bad, but a little boring for our taste. So, out with the vodka, and in with some sipping rum, and it became a drink with all sorts of delicious flavors.

Prior to 2016, I used to drink “Not so dark, but still stormy” Mount Gay rum and Goya ginger beer. After the Trump endorsement, I decided I don’t need Chik-fil-A nor anything Goya and went on the hunt for a good ginger beer. Don’t care for Gosling’s nor any of the Jamaican stuff. The Aussies make Bundaberg, which is really good, but Maine Root is better.

Costs more than Budweiser, but if you don’t drink that much, it won’t break you.

Well, good for Norman. Last night the city council voted to renew the contract for our homeless shelter by a vote of 6-1, all council members voting for, and our MAGA GQP (outgoing) piece of shit mayor voting against. The provider came in under budget last year, so they gave the shelter a 7% increase in their budget ($56,851) so that the provider can increase staff wages.

Conversely, our county sheriff is in DEEP shit for failing to properly track state funds and has had to request an additional $19 MILLION to get through the year.

Our sheriff went to prison. I had voted for him, too.

<Mark Brave, the former Strafford County Sheriff, was sentenced Monday to serve at least 3 ½ years in jail after pleading guilty to theft and perjury charges.

Brave was also ordered to pay restitution of nearly $19,000, which is the amount of public money prosecutors said he improperly spent on frequent trips with romantic partners during his more than two years in elected office. Brave admitted he lied to investigators and a grand jury in an attempt to cover up his actions, but sought leniency from the court, noting that he has sole custody of his daughter.

State prosecutors had sought a longer sentence — up to 14 years in jail — alleging his repeated lies tarnished the reputation of law enforcement officers and deserved stiff punishment.

After hearing arguments Monday, Judge Dan St. Hilaire told Brave that he “had the world at your fingertips, and then just threw that all away.”>

when we first moved up here, there was a little local paper and it just mentioned, without details or finger pointing, how the local sheriff overspent that year. It was also the year in which the department purchased a brand new people mover for our county of 26,000 or so (which is small on this here coast).

Within a month the paper went the way of the dodo, the owner/writer was pretty much run out of town, and the sheriff was re-elected, again (and would be 4 more times before he retired).

Was my first real brush with the local warlord phenom. Even the other rural places I lived were not that bad, but here, the ruling class is just that, and they run everything.

Our sheriff has made it a point to return to the county any budget money he finds he doesn't need after all the arithmetic's done. This engenders goodwill with the county commissioners, so if he needs a budget increase the next year they're more inclined to listen to him.

We have a Spitfire that flies over our house every weekend. You can take a 30-minute ride in one (for a mere *gulp* £3,250), I think it comes from Biggin Hill. A lot of people can, I guess, afford that because they go over sometimes three or fours times a day on Saturdays and Sundays. Every once in awhile it will go over on a weekday, but I don't know if that costs the same or not. My husband is crazy about WWII aircraft (along with guitars, classic cars, and phone boxes) and I've always wanted to get him one of those flights for a birthday present but yee-ikes, I'd have to start doing porn or something to afford it...
