Cheaper than psychiatry.

$600/hour vs a $40 bottle of decent stuff... no contest.

And for the desperate, a $10 bottle of indecent stuff.
Keep one in therapy for a good long time.

Or at least in medical bills.

I got upgraded on both legs of this journey - off
visiting an elderly disabled friend (yet another!).
They gave me a choice of changing to the bed-equipped
San Fran connection, but this one (via Newark) gives
me 7 hours more with her. Anyhow, I decided I'd been
drinking enough in Australia and New Zealand, where
they've taken alcohol almost to the level of an Olympic
sport; so I just ordered a Buffalo Trace on the rocks
for my tooth (so I said). It was a double, and I've
not asked for seconds. I think it's because I'm not
in acute need of mental health care.

I suppose the Mets filled that long-felt want of the
New York loyalists who couldn't bear to be Yankees fans.

Seem to have. No one was going for the Phillies or the Sox. Pirates possibly but unlikely. South Jersey was Orioles territory by then
already, but the northern end went to the Mets.

Nobody wanted to root for Pumpsie Green, maybe.

would be strong clubs in places like Spavinaw, Oklahoma.

Possibly. The Dominican Republic would dominate the league.

The World Series might have the DR, Venezuela, and Cuba
every year.

It wouldn't surprise me.

the other day to see if they had gone downhill the way
the Internet says.

You can have my share.

Give me a buck fifty and I'll eat your share for you.

I've got better uses for money than Costco hot dogs.

I've not yet had a craving for a Costco hot dog
(nor for any other kind, I reckon), but as Dale
points out, it's a cheap date.

I only qualify for half of that these days, hopefully temporarily.

Wanting to keep your liver working might have fed into it too.

These days no one new wants to root for the Mets either.

I've had them, but only for hot dogs produced within a few miles of
my house.
