One of my earlier memories as a kid was us visiting my grandparents at the farm where my mother grew up. It was a scrappy little farm with some apple trees, a few chickens and a cow and some corn and not much more. In the farmhouse we found some medals from World War...
7 cranky old quaffers, once substantial contributors to society, now not so much. Their lives still well taxed but never taxing. Consumers might be a more apt description, with the sales of golf balls, craft beer and Crown Royal spiking right around this time of year....
