Hi Dave,

 RH> concentrates added to his water. I'll buy a carton of sparkling water
 RH> from time to time, especially during the summer, as an alternative to
 RH> the still water. Today, with lunch, I had a peach one--left over from
 RH> last summer, discovered when cleaning out the R-Pod before we traded
 RH> it.

 DD> Didja get a bigger one or just a newer example in the same size?

We got a Grey Wolf; it's about 7' longer, not sure how much wider
(significantly, though). Also got a newer tow vehicle, traded the Nissan
Frontier in on a 2018 Ford F-150.

 DD> I like the flavoured seltzers ... or even just unflavoured club
 soda. DD> But, with the way prices have escalated I have decided to
 economise.

Understandable. Most often our drink of choice when eating out is water
with lemon.

 DD> My go-to ginger ale used to was Seagram's (a Co' Cola label). I'm
 not DD> a big fan of Pepsi and its products. Overhyped and waaaaaaay
 too DD> sweet. Even their Zero Sugar stuff.

 RH> I rarely have a pepsi product for the same reason. Became a Coke fan in
 RH> college, then my mom inherited some Coke stock so she started stocking
 RH> the fridge with it. I switched to the diet Coke in the early 90s so I
 RH> could cut my sugar intake a bit--at the time I was drinking 2 cans of
 RH> Coke a day.

 DD> Much for the same reason I started on "diet" soda - even before the
 DD> extra sugar problem (Type 2 Diabetes) was diagnosed. I just figured
 DD> that all of the sugar can't be good for me.

Basically the same here, made the switch 20+ years before the diagnosis.


 DD> I prefer Coke Zero to Diet Coke ... which still has that nasty (to me)
 DD> "Diet taste" from the sweetener used.

I still go for the diet Coke if I can get it; the taste doesn't bother
me.

 DD>      8<----- SNIP ----->B

 DD> We've got an Indian place like that here. Flavor of India is in a
 DD> small out-of-the-way strip mall. My lunch-bunch tried it one fine
 DD> afternoon.

 RH> Sounds like a place we would enjoy. I always have to ask about the heat
 RH> level tho; since we left AZ my tolerance level has dropped somewhat.

 DD> I didn't hit anything with a real "wake-up" call buried in it. Even
 DD> the dishes labeled as "spicy" were well within my heat tolerance ...
 DD> altho
 DD> I took a small sample to try before returning for a full serving.
 DD> Bv)=

Smart, I'd probably do the same. Are they heat level labelled at the
buffet table?


 DD> My weekly "lunch bunch" is going to go back there in a couple weeks,
 DD> We will be a somewhat smaller group as the Black Camel has knelt for
 DD> some
 DD> of our regulars. What's really scary is that some of them are/were
 DD> younger than I am.

Happens in all generations; it's one thing we can't escape forever.
