I don't think I've ever lived anywhere with wine in the grocery store, much less hard alcohol.
Seriously. I did a double-take in Rite-Aid yesterday when I realized I was standing next to a big bottle of vodka.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's just crazy.

In VA, we have wine and beer in all kinds of stores, but the hard alcohol is in the state-run ABC stores.

I love being able to pop into the grocery store for a tub of yogurt and some green beans and a GIGANTIC bottle of whiskey! I don't think I ever want to live someplace where I can't get toilet paper, tortillas, and tequila at the same store.

Completely off topic, but pretty cool:
Am I the last person on the planet to know that Adrian Pasdar is one of the cute cops in the Dixie Chicks' "Goodbye Earl" video? [link]

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Ralph's grocery store was my one-stop-shop for my sister-in-law's birthday. On a Sunday even- I got Cuervo 1800, a birthday card, and a gift bag. The only thing they didn't have was tissue paper (shouldn't a store that has gift bags also sell tissue paper? Right next to the gift bags, maybe? Extra few bucks with every gift bag purchase? Silly humans) so I had to use fancy paper napkins.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's just crazy.
Didja notice Duane Reade sells beer now?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Um... woo-hoo?
Did you figure out how they got your number?

One of the cool things about Illinois is our governor's name. The newspapers usually abbreviate it to 'Blaggo.'
His website used to have a little icon that spelt it phonetically to answer the rhetorical question "How do you say that name, anyway?"
Growing up in Illinois, I thought that you could get all sorts of booze at the grocery stores/liquor stores at all times of the day or night, and was surprised by my sister's reports of Washington state's state-run liquor stores.
