I wager that drunk driving is way down......
Va ABC has approved In-State Delivery Permits.

Stores offering Beer and Wine sales may now apply for a free delivery permit.



cut, paste
An in-state delivery permit may be issued at no additional cost to licensees currently holding the following types of licenses.

For breweries, wineries or farm wineries, the permit authorizes the delivery of the brands of beer, wine and farm wine produced by the same brewery, winery or farm winery in closed containers to consumers within the Commonwealth for personal consumption.

Deliveries must be performed by the owner or any agent, officer, director, shareholder or employee of the delivery permittee and are limited to no more than four cases at any one time; however, the permittee may deliver more than four cases if ABC’s Tax Management office is notified in writing at least one business day before the delivery.


Wonder why hard liqueur is not on the list? Va is actually a "Bohemian" state.:finger:

I shaved a pretty tuff ginger beard. I haven't been clean shaven in years. I like the way my wife looks at me, now.
The reactions from my kids however were mixed: From 2 yr old, "awwwwwe, you look like a cute big kid," to 8 yr old, "why does your head look so small?"
Hahaha.

Lol. Bill Burr stated that this was a great time for guys to shave their heads if they wanted to see what it would look like. It will surely grow back to a good length if they don't like it by the time we're allowed outside again...

whew!

The liquor store I like to go to is offering curbside pick up and in startling news they are allowing restaurants (many of which I frequent are now closed) to offer to go liquor and liquor through a drive through!!


I'm surprised.

Ha! I shaved my head during basketball, my senior year. At least one crowd chanted powder every time I touched the ball.

My water company is waving their stupid fucking 1.75 fee for calling in your water bill after closing their office to the infected public.

And also waving the same exact fee for doing it online. And that online fee is ridiculous anyway.

There is no fee if you take it to the one local bank that accepts them but I don't have an account there and never go there.

You can mail it in for the price of a stamp and envelope but I always forget and wind up paying the 1.75.

You used to be able pay it at their office, but it's 30 miles away and you have to go over a short stretch of the turnpike that went cashless and jacked up their rates 3X. I just got a turnpike bill for 20.70 for driving there twice to get my taxes done last month. Used to be 6.60 in cash for the same trip. The turnpike is run by greedy pigs but that's another non silver lining story.

I'm going to invest my 1.75 I save every 3 months into the stock market and lose it that way going forward.

Do they accept EFT via your bank's online bill pay app?

I'll have to look at that again, but I think it still charges whether you use a card or routing and account number. My water company is kind of greedy. They used to have an office a mile away but closed it years ago to save money. And make money through fees.

My sewage authority charges a fee online, but it's always been free to call it in. Go figure.

Why this is America. Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms. Those will always be bought and sold in any time. They should make a government agency to oversee that so dumb stuff doesn’t happen in times of crisis. Try to make a law banning or limiting sales on any of them and people will riot.

Not a silver lining so to speak but good news nonetheless… since I stopped growing I can't bring myself to buy weed over the offseason with unemployment and paying retail prices and whatnot. But yesterday a customer straight up gave me an eighth. Is the first time I've had weed/ smoked in probably 3 months.
