    I am forgetful AF but I do not understand how anyone could "forget" they have ammo or firearms in their bags when they fly.  

    Went on a self-guided rafting, fly fishing trip in 2012 to SW Alaska.  Weather delayed our arrival by a day on our in-bound flight by float plane to the drop off lake.  This had a reverberating effect when it was time to be picked up by our wheel plane at the local Inuit airstrip 5 days later.  Flights were delayed across the region and we were worried if we were going to make it back to Anchorage for the return flight to DFW the following morning.

    I took a .44 magnum for bear protection on the trip along with a full box of heavy load ammo.  I dutifully checked in my firearm and ammo at DFW at the start of the trip.  But when the float trip ended , we were delayed getting back to Anchorage.  We made it back to Anchorage late, took a cab to our hotel, made the driver wait while we dropped our luggage.  Then we had him drive us to a bad ass pizza place in town before it closed.

    After long day of breaking camp, rowing to our pickup point, traveling by boat to the airstrip, taking a plane to Dillingham, taking a turbo prop to Anchorage, and eating pizza and drinking beer, I was dead tired.  Asked my buddy at the hotel what time our flight was the next morning and he said something like 10:00 am.  I immediately went to bed.  Woke up about 7:00 the next morning, about to take a shower for the first time in 6 days.   But decided to check my phone first to see what time our flight left.  Flight leaves in an hour.  

    We make a mad dash to the airport, check my revolver in at ticketing and put it in my check in duffle bag and quickly proceed to security carrying my backpack as they are announcing boarding for my flight.

    I forgot to remove my box of ammo from my backpack.  Gulp…

    What’s the orange brick wall suit supposed to signify?

    It's either a literal signal for "build the wall" or he really like Super Mario Bros. on the original NES.  

    Yep, it’s the border wall.  Dude is a regular on the MAGA circuit.

  3. Mezquila… @GreenspointTexas is not going to be happy about this!

    I’m generally not into celebrity booze, and why can’t you just mix mezcal and tequila if that’s the taste you’re going for? 
     

    Also, I’m team David Lee Roth, but spending and evening drinking and eating with Sammy is probably a hoot.

    Is there an approachable mezcal for tequila fans? I had the Casamigos (I know) at a neighbor’s the other night and it was dreadful. Tried Dos Hombres and hated it. I feel like I’ve had one (Del Maguey maybe?) that I thought wasn’t terrible. 
     

    I don’t like peaty whisky either so maybe it’s just not for me. 

    I don’t claim to be an expert on mezcal, but I’ve been to Oaxaca, tried a a few varieties, did a distillery tour and partook of 2-4 varieties the following year in CDMX. 
     

    You might try Ilegal Joven.  It’s not aged so taste profile is a good segue from tequila into mezcal.  Stick with the espadín variety of agave and the lightly aged styles (Jovens) until you season your palate for a more complex variety.

    I agree with @Herbie Hancock that Del Maguey can be a little medicinal.  I also agree with @texasdago that a post meal mezcal is awesome, and the more floral/herbal (medicinal) varieties are well suited in this situation IMO.

    Kind of sad that he did this to himself.  Went from significant personal challenges and then channelled it into something I guess people enjoyed, only to piss it all away by hitching himself to lunatics and a family of bunko artists.    Now his world is turned upside down again and he lacks any people in his life to help him unfuck it.

    Dude's a raging addict.  He's traded his addiction from crack (hopefully off of it) to public attention.  It is sad, but he's an active participant in trying to disband free and fair elections.  So, fuck him.

    Know nothing about this but while searching for something else at Twin Liquors,  the employee and I were chatting about mezcal and he brought this to my attention.  Wasn't planning on getting mezcal on my trip but it was only ~$30. Probably the best mezcal I've had at this price point,  very sippable. 

    @GreenspointTexasyou know anything about this?

  7. Recommend using the Metro during the day, but not at night.  La Condesa to Zocalo was a quick trip although switching stations/trains at Pino Suarez was a bit of a hassle in the middle of the day.

    Meh. She’s in the middle of the road with the flat armadillos.  What exactly does she bring to the table other than the title of United States Senator?  If I’m a Democrat I hate here, if I’m a GOP I don’t trust her, since she mostly played the role of useful idiot. 
     

    Her life is somewhere out side of DC. She has no value to anyone here.  She’s Joe Liebermann in drag.

    She’ll make some jack trashing the Dems on Fox or one the bottom feeder “news” networks.
