I guess that's where NYWriterDude is. No longer holed up in his room in Spain posting on C-D reminding us that NYC is doomed, the USA is doomed, etc.

I haven't seen Leoliu in a couple of days or more either. Hopefully, he and his family are okay.
You won't be seeing NYwriter around anymore. At least not with that screenname.

I like Abisante but it has gotten too expensive for my wallet. Is it still made? It has to be near 40 years since I had my last bottle.

Absinthe has been legal for awhile now. Initially they didn’t have the wormwood but they do again. I drink Absente.

Yes, but let’s drop the subject. He earned it. That’s all I’ll say.

I went to an Absinthe tasting event last year. There were several different types to try. Some I liked, some I didn’t. It was a nice event. Interesting mix of very different people all interested in one thing.

The thing is , if/when a 'new' virus breaks out there won't Be a test to check people with. So the if we wanna be Mr.early bird and shut down all incoming travel we'd have to do so without really being able to check. Look how long it's taken us to get reliable tests though. So what do we do in the meantime?

I am not sure how many outbreaks happen out in the word per year, many probably turn out to be nothing crazy. But everything seems like it's nothing crazy until it isn't.
