Hooray for the Still

I watched a special on the History Channel today on the distillation of various spirits, from Brandy to Moonshine to Absinthe. It was a beautiful little piece.

I have decided that upon retirement, I will either become a cheese maker, a brewer, a vintner, or a distiller to fill my spare time.

Oh, and plus reading and smoking pipes, and other stuff old men who were born in the wrong century do.

(Also, a little tidbit -- I watched the music video to Rick James' 1981 hit Superfreak today for the first time. Being rased as I was, I never was exposed to that kind of thing. It was very funny. I wonder if it was really even meant in all seriousness. What a weird time. I hope that history largely forgets 1965-1995. Weird, weird, weird.)
