OT - The end of a long relationship

I just got the official word that, although Red Dog is still being
brewed by MillerCoors, it's no longer being distributed in my area
(which means, in my case, at least more than a 100-mile radius around
me). This, in turn, means that the Dog and I will no longer have the
relationship we both have had for about 2 decades. It's a sad blow to
a way of life to which I've become accustomed.
Also, my email address (reddog @ rye.net) has now become a
halfanachronism (Jim Beam rye is still available in this area -
although the nearest place is 55 miles away).
And now that I'm required to make a big 'shift' in my life, I find it
serendipitous - or maybe even visionary - that I've already been test
driving Third Shift beer.
I have 3 Dogs left, and I intend to sip them slowly, savor them, and
remember the Good Times associated with them. I may even save the last
one until it's cool enough here to build a campfire to help soothe my
damaged soul as I lovingly start the Last Dog on the journey to its
first waypoint - the aquifer below my house.
I will appreciate any sympathy and cheering-up you may have to offer.
But hold the prayers - I don't think prayer would be appropriate for
either me or the Last Dog.

If so, give it a try. It's been selling here for $10.99 per 12

table in honor Red Dog's life. Two decades is a long life even for a Red
Dog.
My condolences.

take it upon myself to solve my own dang beer shortage problems - probably
with your money. Why not have it delivered to your door? I'm sure somebody
who took a job that was beneath them and is now rolling in dough would be
more than glad to help with the freight:

The dearth - and probably imminent total disappearance - of Dogs is
just one more speedbump I'll have to adjust to in the continuing
decline of society as I knew it.
And I find it highly suspicious that they stopped distributing Dogs in
my area at about the same time that Obama got reelected.
Anyway, thanks for your advice - dumbass though it was.

self-examination/evaluation, and conclude that you've unsurprisingly
again adopted, adsorbed, or inhaled a wrong belief. Probably a
spillover or side-effect or corollary - or even a direct result of -

affected by.
