OT - Grumpy Old Man Thread

Yeah Uber has really helped us out. 
After I finally grew up enough to start going out responsibly, it always meant forcing someone do be a DD.  Or worse yet, limiting my own intake!

But now Uber has completely changed it all.  Pretty much any time we go downtown, we're splitting with another couple.  That makes a $100 roudntrip only $50/couple which isn't really THAT much more than parking these days.

And much more cost effective than a DUI !!

The peace of mind alone to drink what you want with no anxiety about the ride home is worth the cost.

We like to use Uber too, but many of those drivers are not up very late either.

Music usually starts at bars here at 5-6 PM and runs until 8-9 PM. The it's go home time.

Walking and biking (bicycle, not motorized) are good options for where we live.

Remember, you can still get a DUI on a bicycle.

I was in Costco and the wine lady stopped by to "help", which she did, she showed me a grower Champagne she said she got on a great deal, $50, and a Napa red I had not seen before for $99 she said was killer.  I'm a sucker, I think there is a sign on my forehead.  I had mentioned I thought Caymus was over priced, so she showed me the other one I had not seen before.

Costco is lethal.

Is that for a case, I mean, one goes there for bulk deals.

I'm not a great connoisseur of wine.  No way for me to believe a bottle that costs 10 times as much as an "affordable" one would be 10 times more enjoyable.

True, but the realistic standard for getting stopped is much higher than the one for getting stopped in a car. People "swerving" on a bike are pretty much routine, so you've really got to be doing something wild to get attention from a police officer. And we have a protected bike lane most of the way from our house to our downtown, and the police really don't care about bicycles in a protected bike lane. You could probably have a jousting contest in there and they would look the other way.
