And we have to put up with the grapes screaming every fall as they're having the lifeblood squeezed out of them.

It ain't all babes and palm trees.
Can’t you just buy it and store it?

Sounds like a policy good for AA recruitment.

Being politely shown the door is actually a big improvement from the old days. When my grandfather lived there in the 40's, the locals caught him not drinking one summer and hung him upsidedown from a tree in the middle of the town square. Had him up there pert near two days. In the end, he stayed, but he definitely learned his lesson. Folks 'round there said they never saw my grandpappy sober ever again.

Vancouver is famous for its black squirrels. I guess that would be a bad omen?

Congrats, sounds like you're taking things in stride. I'm 70 now myself and retired, so 2020 is just another year down the tubes. I feel though for those who have lost loved ones to this pandemic.
