Can we talk a little about liquor? We feel like we entered a time machine and went backwards about 40 years...Aren't these the guys who made moonshine famous???? What is the deal? Dry Dry Dry counties where you can't buy, sell or consume alcohol. Often it seems like they don't even want anyone to hear them even discussing alcohol. Dry Dry counties where you can't buy it, they can't sell it but you can bring it in...in a brown paper bag, sit it under the table and mix your own drinks. Kind of the "don't ask, we won't tell" approach. Dry counties where you bring it in...they slap a big label on it and you order your drink, they mix it and serve it. Of course, you are charged a small fortune for mixing your liquor into their soda. They tell us that we've finally made it to civilization...WET County...tonight we can actually arrive, order and be served...fine dining...we'll see. We'll be glad to get back to Kansas where we won't have those worries any more. Who knew????
BTW, the catfish at the Midway Marina wasn't bad...just not great. (I prefer Scotch and Sirloin)...and they were Dry Dry Dry county.
