- March 12, 2018, 10:51:29 AMOlder thread yes! Also rather important! lol Like some here, I drank way too much in my 20's and early 30's. Don't usually keep beer at the house except in the summer. Much prefer draft with friends at a favorite bar. Top pick; Blue Moon. Not crazy about IPA's but do like Sierra Nevada. For something light; Corona or Dos XX. Still enjoy Coors Banquet occasionally.

Shoes, shoes, and more shoes! The industry died 45 years ago and no one had enough brains or forethought to replace it! Bad governance. Bad leadership. They tried to bring in the PRISON INDUSTRY.... Wow, truly a dumb and economically horrendous idea.
Corning is in Corning NY and they are still there. In fact, Corning NY would be a cesspool just like Binghamton were it NOT for Corning. That is about all Corning has. Another example of NO diversification. If Corning Inc moves Corning NY will be just like Binghamton. An economic, cultural and social failure.
Meanwhile other places less than an hour away THRIVE.
The reasons are not mysterious.
Diversity and sensible investment in sustainable, growth potential businesses which attract smart people, and attracting diverse cultures and interests, funding the arts and cultural diversity.
One thing to avoid: BOOM and BUST industries.

Binghamton was just in the news... Again. The crappiest economic recovery and poorest economy and one of the worst places to live in NY state! I live in Ithaca and this area is BOOMING economically and rated as one of the best places to live in the USA!
And not even an hour away from each other!
Amazing what a few miles and bad, stupid, myopic, ignorant and arrogant politics... or GOOD, smart, astute, far-reaching politics will get ya.

But I started getting migraines from drinking and could not function the next day. I still do try to live "for the old P" but it is like playing Russian Roulette; I may get a migraine and I may not. Now I just limit myself to a beer or two and drink lots of coffee. Coffee makes the world go round!

- November 02, 2016, 10:00:10 AMWow, I'm talking to a scotch connoisseur. Here I thought I was enlightened but obviously if you have your own cask for aging that's a whole different level. You buy scotch then put it in the cask and age it some more? Where did you get this cask?
I know what you mean by a peaty scotch, I have tried a few like that. I will see if Laphroaig is available in Canada (and in my price range). Scotch for me isn't something I drink in large quantities. It's just for sipping on occasion. A bottle will last me for some time. A scotch tour will be on the top of my agenda when we go in a few years.

My favorites are 18 year old Glenmorangie Single Malt which I don't buy very often due to the price up here in Canada (only at the duty free store) next 18 year old Glenfiddich Single Malt , Johnnie Walker Black Label and 10 year old Glenmorangie which is about 1/4 the price of 18 yr Glenmorangie here in Canada.
Oh, yeah! Lived in Scotland, went back for a visit in 15 - did a Scotch "tour". Personally, I like - as a treat - a peaty Scotch... one of the few left is Laphroaig. I drink nothing younger than 18 yo. I have a small cask which ages whisky quickly... its about 50 years old now.
