But you lose with a $12 margarita. However, when I travel, I do enjoy the airport bars.

I’m choosing to ignore that part. My gate is RIGHT NEXT TO the best airport food on planet earth and I got order number 69.

Hell, in certain cities including my own, drinks can cost that much NOT at the airport.

It’s a sad reality when I walk into a random suburban bar/restaurant and marvel at single digit cocktail prices, but too baby places pull the $12 artisanal cocktail menu shit around here.

I’m pretty damn sure that the margaritas at Rick Bayless’ downtown restaurant are more than $ 12. Chicago ain’t cheap.

The #1 thing I miss about living in Madison is Woodman’s.

I also miss the plentiful availability of good beer for non-crazy prices, and being able to walk into a b ar and order a drink for well under 10 bucks.

My alcohol situation really went from one extreme to the other, because now I live in Montgomery County, MD where the county monopolizes all alcohol distribution.

You can only buy liquor from county stores, that kinda suck, and beer & wine at licensed beer & wine stores, which run the gamut from crappy little convenience store type places, to full-on fauwncy purveyors, with some good honest places with good selections and prices.

No other stores (grocery, convenience, etc) may sell alcohol of any kind. Prices for alcohol anywhere in the county are high, even ratty bodega-like beer & wine stores, because all the beer & wine stores, bars and restaurants are all buying from the county, and the county doesn’t have to compete against any other distributors.

I was at Trader Joe’s this weekend and a lady was trying to return these large individually-sold beers that she had bought at TJ’s near her office in DC, tried the first one and didn’t like, but the TJ’s in MD couldn’t take the return because they can’t do anything with alcohol. They told her she’d have to return the beer at a store outside of the county.

Thankfully, just over the border in DC certain other things are legal, so on balance...

Chicago is such that, when you find a bargain, you better jump on it. I suspect that DC is the same way.

Especially if you find something good and cheap.

When we go to visit my grandma in her retirement home, we always bring Chinese food. Usually from the veggie Chinese place by our house, but the last time we were out and about doing other stuff first so instead went to pick up from the “Asian fusion” (a.k.a. Chinese + sushi) place in the strip mall near her place. It’s in a less fancy part of the burbs.

We were also going to have to see my occasionally difficult brother on this grandma visit, and arrived a little early to the restaurant, where my wife quickly suggested we have a drink while we wait for the takeout order.

The most expensive thing on the drink menu was 8 bucks. I was like, “THIS IS SO AFFORDABLE!”

So, about to take the runway in a 73 7- 800 and the captain announced that our takeoff weight was 148k lb and we will rotate at 153 mph FWIW. Rain just stopped but hot and humid

148k pounds. That’s a lot of peanuts. Have a safe flight.

I’ve never heard a captain announce that before takeoff, and found it interesting. Was a smooth flight, despite navigating around weather that was headed into Chicago.

I haven’t either. Only the AvGeeks noticed, I’m sure.

No doubt.
