It’s essentially rye whiskey that our local distiller (who used to be our Congressman, wish he still were) has spliced with local honey. Very nice liquor–either neat or in hot cider/chocolate. He was replaced by Bob (not so) Good for Virginia.
Just looked the Samaritans up and see that they are a group dedicated to people struggling with thoughts of suicide. Between the weather, COVID, almost any nation’s politics, etc–I can see where that might be catastrophic right now.
It’s depressing just to talk about it Pat. Without dwelling on the subject, it’s one of the reasons that I’ve started to spend more time on my blogs, and away from social media and forums. I used to like reading about current affairs and having a good debate, but that seems impossible these days.
The Samaritans do an amazing job, and they’re all volunteers. The Establishment hand out gongs to all and sundry, but these people don’t get enough recognition for the work they do in my opinion.

We’re getting over 7 inches of snow today after it was 61 at about 6 pm last night. Could use the laugh here too.

Crikey! That must be a shock to the system. Still, you’ve given me something else to smile about now. Hope it doesn’t get too bad though!

Hoping to walk around the neighborhood if it stops this afternoon. Perfect excuse to drink hot chocolate laced with honey rye.

I don’t know what it tastes like, but it sounds just the ticket on a day like that 🙂

We’ve had record breaking warm temperatures for this time of the year, but really gloomy Pat. I’m glad I don’t work for The Samaritans.
