A couple weeks ago I stopped by a buddy's new house and he was celebrating it's imminent completion. We were chipping golf balls in a improvised fashion and decided a beer would be nice after a long week of work. We would be heading back to our wives and children after about a 1/2 hour recreation. I drink beer more then I golf (which is never), but not much more. We went down to the store and I got a Heineken in a can. I wasn't a forty ouncer. The girl made me package it up because it was the 'law'. Completely annoying. I'm an adult and a citizen. I can't carry a beer without a bag ?
My wife was in the drive thru and there was a cop inside. He was complaining because there was something wrong with his free stuff. They get every order free. He was berating the poor counter girl about something.
Max Kessler & Chris Edes shared some amazing stories about what's happening in Rochester. They finger print new business owners in town, because of drugs. They smash down doors in apartments that require landlords to fink on them. The building inspector comes the next day and fines the landlord after the cops ripped out the toilet.
