Today's newspaper, in a very timely manner, mentions that three small towns in Kentucky are voting on whether to be
"wet" or "dry". Little old lady says the town's been fine without liquor for 150 yrs., why bring it in now to risk
moral decay. Next-door neighbor says, because all the people go spend their money in the nearest town where they can buy a drink.

They may indeed elect new officials next time, Ted.

On to a musick note: good, connotative word, Dearest!
I, too, seem to be taking a day off of everything but this board! (Conscience, get thee behind me.)
