I know. Figured you'd like that. I found everything to be much more expensive abroad. In UK 2X pricing is common.
Saw one like yours recently go for USD6500.00 here in CA. Gibson going away is going to prolly make 'em go up some more

That's kinda how I think of ALL vodka. May as well drink Everclear. In fact, I was told by a semi-reliable person that vodka is all just diluted grain alcohol. If it has any flavor at all, it's not acceptable as unflavored vodka. In other words, I don't see the point of vodka at all.

IMHO...the "point" of vodka, is that it's neutrality/transparency make it the perfect beverage for turning non-alcoholic beverages, into alcoholic ones:)

You'd be correct. IIRC, vodka originated from the fermentation of potatoes. Now it's mostly grains.

I was surfing on my wife’s computer the other day. Now she’s getting ebay notification emails for Thunderbirds...

When I was working the only common link between my work PC and my laptop at home was that I logged on to this site and an astronomy site on both. Then I started getting software ads popping up on my laptop at home (I was a computer systems admin) so the link had been made by tracking cookies from one or both of those sites. Also at home my wife and I share an Amazon and Ebay account, she started getting ads for guitars and astronomy stuff (plus size dresses too truth be told) on her laptop. Anyone else experienced that?

Between my work terminal and home PC this happens all the time, my current pop up is for women's summer time rompers - I want one now dang it!
