The good old days
Driving home from work today in 102 degree heat with the top down and
a 12-pack of beer by my side, I longed for the good old days when it would have been legal for me to break that 12-pack open and have a cold one while I sat in traffic. Sigh.... So, instead I had to drive 90 miles an hour so I could get home and legally crack one open. Just kidding about that last part - I drove no more than 50 and I still haven't opened a beer even though I've been home a good 15 minutes. |

Let me guess. Texas? Used to be legal to drink while driving as long as you weren't legally drunk. Every car (well that's an exageration) had the beer can holder clipped to the door before cup holders were pretty much standard. Damn but that dates me. Harry K |

The recent law change still doesn't apply to country roads, which makes sense if your closest neighbor's house is a half mile away. Better to take the beer with you than chug it before driving...
