My Own Back Yard

So...in addition to the virus, at least in my part of the country, it looks to be a bad tick season with unseasonably warm weather and above average rainfall. So...what I have to look forward to, in spite of best efforts, is sitting on my back deck with a Corona and Lyme.

You will probably find, as all of us who have imbibed such have found out, is that there is a reason for putting a small piece of lime in a Corona beer. :wink:

Or not. Mexican lager: On my annual trip to Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa with my band to play the fundraiser concert for the ex-pat sailboat club to raise money for building supplies for the schools, I much prefer Pacifico, Modelo Especial (ironically, Corona's parent company), Victoria (another Modelo product).

Finer beer? LOL!!! In Mexico, Corona is the cheapest-a$$ $#!+ beer there is, bottled in the old-fashioned brown round-top bottles. The USA market is pure marketing bull$#!+ and the lime is truly nothing but a gimmick to make it drinkable. That is what my "winking" emoji was trying to get at in my prior post.

A very large moon is to the East, a very bright Venus is in the West.

Venus happens to be close to a bright star that just makes it appear larger and brighter than ever!!

But it seems like Corona did have its purpose, at least "back in the day"...............

Corona taught me to be careful when uttering foreign words. It was in a local Mexican restaurant, right next to the university, with a sort of beach shack style and a distinctive menu. They make a fine grapefruit margarita and I look forward to that when I go there. It was advertised on the chalkboard as toronja, Spanish for grapefruit, so that's what I asked for. Imagine my disappointment when the waitress returned with a bottle of Corona with a quarter of lime inserted in the mouth.
