Planning out your packies
Danny and me, escaped from Stephen King country and roaring southward
now bound for Boston and oddly, an art car gathering in South town at
some place called the Distillery. The Dodge Caravan Apple Schnapps-fueled
4-barrel tin can family rocket car is tearing up the tarmac at frightening
speeds. New Hampshire State Line Liquor Store, last chance to buy untaxed
booze. We’re almost there now. The trees along the highway bow to
us, bending full over in the shock blast vacuum of our Light Speed passage.
Then whoosh! Just like that Dan passes the exit by. What are you doing?
I demand to know. We can’t live without more Apple Schnapps! And
Lord knows as soon as we hit Taxachusetts the taffy wrap-liquor laws will
stretch, twist and twizzle even the most hardened boozer into a mad, frantic
tizzy of last-minute “packy” (package store) runs and Sunday
morning righteous indignation at all that liquor under lock and key. Prohibition
must have been a terrible time to live in, but it’s gotta be worse
being a traveler, a road dog, maybe a rock musician on tour or a fresh-faced
young traveling salesman when suddenly the urge for a beer hits you, but
ooops! Sorry. What? You mean you didn’t stock up yesterday? Don’t
you know today is GOD’s day?
Hey, lemme tell ya punk. God is a drunk. Or at least he has been in the
past. And if for some reason he’s on the wagon, well, that could
explain Global Warming and Muslim fanaticism. Anyway, bad move to cross
state lines, or hell even town limits in New England without planning
out your alcohol consumption and procurement well in advance.
