Here in NY you can beer and cheap wines at the grocery stores. However when you want the vodka or captain morgan or any other hard stuff you must go to the liquor stores for that! Its good that the asthma is under control! Here in NY we have churches everywhere for every religion and they all dress up: dresses, hose, high heels and suits and ties. Oh dear.

Florida...hangs down...like a wang...DUH. We have to wait until NOON before we can buy liquor on Sundays here in Michigan. People still dress up for church though, not that I've been to one in a long time, but as I drive by them on Sunday afternoons I see people coming out, the ladies in dresses, hose, and heels, the men in suits. While I'm home blogging on the couch in my t-shirt and sweatpants. I'm going to hell. Do you know that all this time I’ve been reading Gidge’s blog, I never made that connection?

I do however own a long denim skirt, but not the A-line frumpy kind. Just to clarify, I have never worn flip-flops of any kind, nor a t-shirt of any character while attending church.

Sigh. What was I thinking--I'm not a duck, I didn't have to migrate here?

Of course, maybe I need to leave OK once in a while to understand that maybe it's not the whole country? Please? Please don't let it be the rest of the country!

And we also only have 3.2 beer, rather than 6 point. I can tell I'm totally selling you on a vacation here. Wow I’ve never been to Florida, but it sounds freakishly like Oklahoma:

If that was a culture shock to you, you really should take a drive thru here sometime. We do, in fact, still love Bush / Cheney. If we don't have rifles in our gun rack, we use them to hold carpenter levels - or at least that's what my dad always did. And I drive by 3 churches to get to my own and that's only an 8 minute drive. But there are at least 300 in each, not 3 as you imagine. I think we can buy alcohol on Sunday's now, but that was not always the case. For decades, you could purchase softer things - like beer and wine, but not hard liquor on Sundays. Probably why it was semi-logical to have wine at a store, but not liquor. You have to also realize there are fairly large groups of people who will not shop at a store that sells liquor.
