to cut down to wipe your butt or build shelter. Remember, we need trees to breathe and to create a home for the animals we eat! They just can't keep
up with planting what they are cutting down, that's a fact. I pass logging trucks day in and day out where I live. But for a lot of people who live
other places who don't see this on a regular basis, logging trucks in their neighborhoods, its out of sight out of mind how bad it truly is with what
they are having to cut down in order to supply for the masses. What's a person to do?, plastic nor paper..none of it is a good choice... cotton bags,
that's at least a renewable resource that is farmed and takes quicker to grow. Plastic bags need to be banned everywhere and in my mind, since I live
in those forests, paper bags too! OH the horror! I think we're better than this, and can find new and exciting ways to avoid plastic bags!

As a student of History, especially western USA history, I have often been curious about historical pictures taken back in the 1800's, most of which
show an incredible LACK of trees as compared with today in the same sites.

Remember $1.25 six-packs of Coors, hated that "punch hole" thingy they came out with ......but, I was able to "work around" it most of the time ....
And no JOe, I didn't develop callouses from pulling and punching beer cans openers

Passing on the Paper
How about we go back to Lambskin ?
Papyrus ?
Stone Tablets ?
OK, the last two wouldn't work well for bagging, I guess.
Not sure about the first.

I don't remember that either, but who bought a sixpak when a full case only cost five bucks?

A More Important Question is ...........
WHO here would admit to drinking Coors ?
Which reminds me of ................
Back in the '70s, I was having dinner with wife and friends (two other couples) at the San Gorgonio Inn and one friend, when told that they didn't
have his favorite, but did have Coors said "Coors ? I don't see no **** (racial comment) in here".
An intemperate remark which (unfortunately) brought most in the area to stare at him and us.
STILL ................It is difficult to understand.

I guess that would be ME. That was fifty years ago and I liked Coors , and I would probably like it today. I'm not so much into the newer,
heavier, more complex beverages.
Besides.......fifty years back, the availability was limited.
I went to the new Sam's Club in Ensenada the other day, and Sam sells Coors. Maybe I'll buy a truck load.

COORS
Grew up in the Panhandle of Texas drinking COORS then moved to south Texas no Coors for a lot of years. When they got Coors down that far couldn't
stand that Crap.

We've been using or own bags for over 20 years. I have always disliked things that you only use once. I read somewhere that when Gillette was just out
of college and working for Crown Cork and Seal, he learned that a single use item that was massed produced cheaply was the best way to make a fortune.
It seems to have worked for him. The landfills are mostly single use items. The largest man made thing is the dump for New York. We as Americans love
our convenience, but it does have a price.
Both Coors and Bud are just headaches in a can. IMHO.

"Coors and Bud are just headaches in a can"
One must use reasonable judgement when consuming ..... some of the time
Agree with the convenience thought, 100%

IT's the WATER !
Or, so they used to say.
And, to be fair, Coors DID taste like it had been watered down.
It was sort of the forerunner of Light Beer before there WAS Light Beer.
Which is another example of the decline of Civilization.
Could be worse, though.
Shandy comes to mind. Knowing what that is keeps me from ever trying it.
Speaking of the days when Coors wasn't available East of wherever, back when I used to take the Ex to visit her family in the Peach State, we always
found ourselves smuggling cases of Coors at their request.
I always said that it would be Ironic (and infuriating) to get busted for hauling a Beer that I wouldn't drink myself.
Well, almost time for a daily Heineken or Steinlager.
Always the big decision of the afternoon.

TRADER JOE'S has some interesting and sorta-German/Dutch exotic beers--------might try one of those, and they are cheap!!! Taste good to me, but my
taste in beers is kinda strange, I'm told.
(my favorite, Negra Modelo)

In later years I drank nothing but Miller Lite. July 4 this year it will be 28 years since I Quit my life has been better for it.

Mine too, Barry. Just today, I traded a drafting table, sliding straight-edge and all, for a case of it.
Life is good.
