It's all about taxes according to the "proof". The higher the proof, the more tax. But a bottle of cheap Tennessee moonshine (and I do like Tennessee bourbon, so don't have a fit) and a bottle of the best Scotch with the same proof will cost about the same. So as long as you're paying an arm and a leg, you might as well go for the best :) Happy New Year, Daniel > Happy New Year > Jerry > > Mikko Kalavainen wrote: > > > Greetings to everyone who lives in cold places. > > > > In the heart of Finland it is -25C/-13F at the moment, the weather guy > > projected as far as -40C/-40F. > > > > My Leica M4-2 still works, I wonder how long it's going to last?
