For a story that describes a non-traditional and somewhat humorous burial I recommend the book "Backcountry Pilot." The book describes the flying exploits of 'Ike' Russell, as told by family and those who flew with him. I was lucky enough to have known him, and his son is an old friend of mine.
In one of those "it's a small world" things, although I didn't know them at the time (I was five years old) both Ike and my dad learned to fly from the same instructor.
Glad you got it taken care of Tom. Having grown up in Tucson, the skin cancer center of the northern hemisphere, I'm now a two times a year visitor to my dermatologist.
Now get back to that shelf.
Showing my (lack of) age again... I thought that was Mike Ness.

Yabbut, first you gotta do Scotch, which was never my tipple, even in my sorriest drinking days. Tasted like cough medicine without the syrup, to me.
Now, the old Kaintuck corn...
No self respecting Irishman would even consider allowing scotch to touch his lips.
Now OTOH, Jameisons Irish whiskey is quite another matter.
As a former scotch drinker, can understand how a sour mash drinker would have a little trouble with it.
It definitely is one of the worlds best acquired tastes.
I keep a jug of Rebel Yell around for those who appreciate good sippin whiskey.
Straight up, no ice, no chaser.
For those of you not familiar with Rebel Yell, it is 100 proof, Kentucky sippin liquor, made in Louisville, KY and sold only South of the Mason-Dixon.
It is definitely another of the worlds acquired tastes.
BTW, the story is an old Pat & Mike Joke.
Pat is on his death bed and his old friend Mike comes to see him.
Mike says, "Is there anything I can do for you old friend?"
Pat responds, "Not in this world, but after I'm gone, there is a bottle of Irish in me closet. Would you mind sprinklin it on me grave?"
Mike asks, "Mind if I run it thru me kidneys first?"

Half of Ireland will refuse to drink half of Ireland's whiskeys, as the potatoes were trodden with the wrong foot. One of those halves has no problem drinking Scotch instead.
BTW - Tullamore Dew while I'm writing this. It's Offaly good.
I've purchased Rebel Yell in Birmingham, MI. Priviliged Yankees, I guess. Darn good whiskey. And good "nippin' in the bud" Mr. Watson. Tom
I am working on some Jack Daniels at the moment. Robin Williams like to say that " If alcohol is a crutch, Jack Daniels is a wheel chair". max
Maybe I'm dating myself, and times have changed.

And whatever happened to Wild Turkey?

I much prefer the product from the monks on the Isle of Skye.
Makes even the lowest scotch taste like the nectar of the gods when properly mixed snd served over ice.

I think that it Irish Whiskey, not scotch...
Unless it's an enemy. And it definitely gets pre-processed.

I think I drank it all. At least the 101. Used to be my "handle" on the CB, for anyone old enough to recall the craze for those things. Hard to believe I ditched the booze and the CB about the same time, about 20 years ago.
Somebody changed the name to joke, and speaking of jokes, especially old ones, I see Pat Robertson has told Dover, MD not to expect help from God because they voted ID approving board members out of office--en masse.
Let's see: it was Orlando he was last calling down the wrath of God upon.
Talk about an argment against ID: Pat Robertson.
Nice Rod. Thanks and Best wishes for a continued, prolonged recovery. Here's hoping there's more shelves in your future!
Likewise, I just haven't found an enjoyable Irish whiskey. Haven't found one with anything approaching the complexity and character of a _good_ single-malt Scotch.
I was underwhelmed by that one. Unless there's a special one?
Of course.
Unless you have a great local source...which I do. I'll try it, thanks for the suggestion. Been out of Bourbon for months.
That's Dover, PA.
(and in favor of abortion, though in his case it's too late)
I'll believe he's a Christian right after I see a camel pass through the eye of a needle.
