re 6
Something I really liked about California, 24-hour markets that sell beer and liquor 24/7. Every other state I have lived in or visited had some crazy laws about when or how they sell alcoholic beverages as well as their strength. There were still dry counties in Texas when we lived there 20 years ago. Been to Utah? Here in SC all sellers of distilled spirits can only advertise with a large red disk, hence "the red store." There are constant battles over Sunday alcohol sales here and in neighboring Georgia. I may have 5 or 6 beers/mixed drinks a year and I think it’s nonsense. 'Course I also believe we need to legalize drugs and save Mexico, Columbia and a few other countries.
OK, I'll get off the soapbox now.
