THAT'S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN

Something happened today that was a first for me.. A proud moment indeed.. I bought my first beer today, a six pack.. I was totally lost in the liquor store when looking for beer, I didn't even know where it was kept.. Turns out they keep it in the fridge to keep it cool.. I looked all over at the selection not knowing what to get.. It all tastes the same to me, kind of a cross between piss & puke..  Yea I have bought alcohol in the past but it was just that ..  Whiskey (bourbon)  and vodka were my main poison and drink that I could.. Last summer while my uncle was here I got a bottle of pop and took it up and emptied a good lot of it, to the point where when I put vodka in there I was afraid it was so pale everyone would ask why it was that way.. Nobody did, they never suspected a thing (I never let on that I was drinking anything).. The first drink took me back to my junior year in high school when we were decorating for prom and the class sponsor had some vodka in his car and let a few of us partake and I did, a little too much but it made decorating for prom that much more fun that night..  First drink that night was mostly vodka, very little pop.. Same as last summer but in the case of last summer it really didn't change when the level went down a bit.. It just stayed almost strait vodka...    Anyway, yeah I bought that beer and told the guy that was ringing it up that and he said "buying for someone else?"  and I told him it was for a recipe and he started talking about different things to cook with beer & wine.. I would have loved to gotten some ideas from him but he got busy shortly after giving me my change so...

I found  a coin in the change the other day and wondered what it was.. I mean the writing on it looked either Russian, Ukranian or Polish so I scanned it and put the picture of it on Facebook and asked if anyone knew what this was and two people knew.. Patrick Rad (Radchiak)(?)  and Lucy.. She said it is Polish Zloty.. And so I look it up on Google and it is by way of it's size it is smaller than the American dime but it is worth a little more.. Actually a bit more.. The exchange rate as of today was just over 31 cents but at it's best in 2008 it was fifty cents.. Imagine having that good of an economy compared to our own.. Ten cents equals fifty in another.. I've heard where a guy moved to Poland because the economy was that much better there...
