how I know it's Friday

As I waited in the quick check-out line at the supermarket, late this afternoon, with the chicken Andouille sausages I was picking up to add to our dinner (pan-fried ravioli with vegetables and sausage in olive oil and a flavoring mix I have to order by mail, a favorite dish here), the guy in front of me was buying four large cans of Foster's lager. The guy in front of him had a huge bottle of vodka and a bag of cheetos.

Drove home expeditiously, before either of them could consider partaking of their liquid purchases before driving.

Ah, California. Here in Minnesota we operate under Sharia Law, and grocery stores can't sell booze, just beer not worth getting.

I was going to make a similar comment!

So, in Minnesota, I would have been two persons further ahead in the check-out line.

In WA, you'd have been only one person ahead in the line -- you can get Foster's in grocery stores, but not hard liquor. Costco is buying an initiative to put the state-run liquor stores out of business so it can start selling liquor.
