It feels crazy to think that Christmas time really is just around the corner. Sad that summer is nearly done but kinda looking forward to putting up the Christmas decorations.

Our autistic son got mad at us and would not help unload it from the truck, it is way too early for him. 😂😀.

Hey Christmas is a happy time for me and the world is pretty screwed up right now and every little bit of happiness helps. Although we can put them out until after Thanksgiving time.

Always thought Americans looked down on Johnnie Walker as trash but it's beloved around the world.

You are clearly an exception!

Enjoy.
There's nothing wrong with a good blend, and JW definitely makes a good blend. I'd rather have JW Black than Glenlivet. A blend's only sin is it's consistent. Every bottle will be the same as the next. You don't get as much variation as you do with single malt, though even those tend towards sameness. They're blends of malts to achieve a consistent end goal. Blended whisky does it a bit cheaper.

My nephew is getting married in two weeks so I had to go to Men's Wearhouse today and buy a new suit, vest, pants, shirt, and tie. Now I need to get it pressed before the wedding. This is the first suit I've purchased in close to twenty-five years and it was from Pennies. This one looks a lot nicer.

nice suit but it would be better with a "yes bbhaag, this is my suit" sign.

For those who have never bought a full suit before, how much was it?
