Today's a black day ...

even though the snow is coming down in massive flakes.

The difference between New York and Troy is that New York has multiples of everything.  Troy ... not so much.  So when your local beer store -- in my case Troy Discount Beverages -- closes, well it's a situation.  In New York there's another place to buy beer two blocks away.  Troy ... not so much.

The good news is that Troy Discount Beverages has not gone out of business.  It's just moved about a mile away.  Which, let me tell you, is considerably different than the previous distance of half a block when the urge to consume Bass Ale strikes you like a hammer blow to the temple and you don't happen to have any.

Which happened last night.  Which is how I learned that they'd moved.

So today's a black day.  Although tomorrow should be fun, what with the football and all.
