Luxuriate in your retirement,dear retired comrade.

But go easy on the alcohol if longevity without pain is your aim.

I would buy you a beer but as a Canadian I am boycotting US products and a Mexican beer would be prohibitively expensive due to the tariffs.

(Shooting yourselves in the foot tariffs I call them)

By the way our PM is meeting with some US senators who want him to buy into the "Golden Dome" missile defence scheme.

I think buying into this mad scheme where missiles would be detected, intercepted and destroyed over Canada is loonier than the tariffs.

And Canada paying for the privilege of being in the interception / debris field zone would be like buying a ticket to sit in the middle of the Gun Fight at the OK Corral, in Tombstone, Az.

Looking forward to the day when the insanity has passed and we can cross the border without a care and buy each other a 0% beer. Good Luck Amigo.

Lol. The tariffs have increased the price of my favorite imported beers, except the Mexican ones--they seem to be exempt. Fortunately, I live near Cleveland, and there's a microbrewery just up the street. I can't get any more local than that.

And I really have cut way back on the alcohol in recent years. Sometimes I go for a couple of DAYS without a beer.

Now that I'm retired, I'd like to take my wife to Trois Rivieres, where my ancestors were among the first settlers in 1638, and to Montreal and Quebec City as well, but I fear being hassled at the border.

By my own Border Patrol far more than your equivalent.
