“Spider dreams guaranteed. Got these for a transatlantic flight from Seattle. Took effect about 20 minutes from consumption. I slept for about 4 hours and continued to use them to adjust to the timezone change. Every night I had the same dream about a spider wrapping me in a web very tightly and speaking backwards. It seemed very scared and was furious I could not understand what it was trying to say. 20 years passed in the dream world and eventually the spider and I became close friends and four years later we were married. Understandably our differences were too much and our relationship fell apart from the inside. My infidelity was the last straw and we never recovered from the betrayal. I would always wake up right before we signed the divorce papers. I had this same dream every night for 6 days. Great product. Highly recommend.“
Luckily, we don’t know exactly what this product is.

We got this from sugarandsoul.co and it’s an easy, fun, and refreshing adult summer beverage. We like that it’s made right in the bottle! Drink the Corona down to the label. Great start. Add a shot of tequila then a splash of orange juice. A bit of grenadine adds color. Garnish with a lime after squeezing in a bit of juice. Drink. Repeat.
July 19 is National Daiquiri Day! Thank you NationalDayCalendar.com. Born in Cuba in the late 1800’s, the rum, lime and sugar cocktail evolved to become a favorite of Ernest Hemingway and John F. Kennedy. Today, toss some frozen limeade in the blender with some rum and ice and, voila, a refreshing summer delight!
Cheers!

July 16 is the anniversary of the first atomic bomb explosion on July 16, 1945 in Alamogordo, New Mexico. Making the best of impending Cold War annihilation, bartenders back then stirred up wonderful libations like the Duck and Cover, the Atomic Fireball, and the Oppenheimer Martini. Luckily, today, the world possesses slightly less than 14,000 nuclear warheads. We feel so much safer now.

Easy Rider was released on July 14, 1969. That’s fifty-three years ago. Dennis Hopper, Peter Fonda, and Jack Nicholson starred in what is now a counterculture classic. Get your motor runnin’……..
It’s like Pavlov’s dog. When we hear the James Bond twangy guitar riff, we reach for a Martini. Monty Norman, who composed the theme, recently passed away at age 94. Here’s a BBC Proms performance which, by the way, credits John Barry who did not write the theme. Monty sued and won a few quid over that. Rest In Peace Monty.

Those amazing photos that NASA is releasing reminds us that there are an estimated 700 Quintillion planets out there…. give or take. If even 1% are habitable…… that’s a lot of earths, although we’re sure ours is the best. And you wonder why we like catching a Buzz. 700 Quintillion. That’s a billion billions. Yeah, right.
On July 10th, two talented musicians shared a birthday. Arlo Guthrie, known for songs such as The City of New Orleans, turned 75. Jerry Miller, formerly of San Francisco’s legendary Moby Grape, turned 79. Happy Belated Birthday to you both!

Roving, Raging Correspondent Hunter S. sampled some cleverly-named cocktails and shots at The Dogtown Roadhouse in Floyd, Virginia. Try the $5 shooter Dirty Bong Water (Spiced Rum, Blue Curacao, Melon Liquor, Sour Mix). How about a Liquid Marijuana shooter (Spiced Rum, Melon Liquor, Coconut Rum, Blue Curacao, Sour Mix, Pineapple Juice)? Got the munchies? Follow those up with a Dreamsicle Cocktail (Vanilla Vodka, Moylan’s Orange Craft Soda Topped with Whipped Cream and Sugar).
Only in America. Cheers!

Not the Hell’s Angels kind. There are Buzzed Boomers out there still riding the Harleys. But we’re talking bicycles. When the knees start to go and running, softball and high-impact sports become more painful than fun, a number of Baby Boomers have turned to bicycles as a low-impact way to stay in shape. Benefits include strengthening muscle groups used in maintaining balance and strength (ie, quadriceps), enjoyment, autonomy, and improved cardiovascular function. It will help you lose weight, stay strong, avoid chronic illness, stay mentally alert and live longer. There are some safety concerns regarding cycling for seniors, but they shouldn’t dissuade you.
Neighbor Art joined some other seniors for regular joint rides. Long John prefers solo rides and has knocked out 600 plus rides since the beginning of 2020.
There are lots more bike paths out there than when we were kids. Check it out.

National Day Calendar says,
“On July 7th, raise a toast to the place where friends gather and memories are made. It’s National Dive Bar Day!
From the one-time speakeasy to the little hole-in-the-wall, the dive bar is like an old pair of jeans; it just fits right. During the week, we can stop in, our team will be playing on the TV, and the beverages will be icy cold. The same dart and pool leagues meet every year, and familiar faces go head to head.”
Started by Seagram’s 7 Crown, celebrate 7/7 with a Seven & Seven and support your local dive!
