I have a framed version of that image in my shop, and an empty bottle (label intact) that holds my pieces of welding and brazing rod. It is one of my favorites (obviously). She is beautiful.

Wow. In this day and age. Just wow. I would love the jersey actually. It's gorgeous. And yeah, the wine sales will go through the roof now! Good for them.
And for anyone interested in supporting the winery - Hahn makes an excellent well priced Pinot Noir. A friend of mine got some for me when she was in Carmel and I would compare it favorably to Golden Eye (Duckhorn's Pinot). It's not quite as good, but it's also not $70 a bottle.
Oh, that's funny. And nostalgic, since I grew up in the South. Of course human foolishness knows no geography, but this does seem very, very Southern.
Maybe I should get the jersey and ride here in good old Alabama... Though I might get a ticket for indecent exposure or some such nonsense. :rolleyes:
I don't know about a ticket...I think some folks might just drop dead in fright :rolleyes:
OK, do I have Alabama stories!
In high school, I worked at the Jolly Ox restaurant (Brookwood Village location). It was actually "Steak and Ale", but Alabama had a law prohibiting the name of a libation in the name of a restaurant.
In college, I was the one sober driver in a car passing north through Cullman County Alabama. Unfortunately, I was in the back seat (I know...youthful invincibility...). The two front seat passengers were arrested - not for drunk driving - for "transporting alcohol through a dry county". Hmmmm:rolleyes: Cost ME $1,200 to bail them out of jail...that was back in college when I had some money...
As we moved from Atlanta to Birmingham in 1970...we crossed the state line to a billboard saying that "300,000 Southern Baptists Welcome You to Alabama".
Alabama is the buckle of the bible belt...it will always have conservative laws on drinking.
Thanks Zen. Way to drag Missouri into it. When he did that it was totally embarrassing. He didn't know?....whatever. Sounds just like him. Here is what Missourians think about Ashcroft. He was running for the Senate against Mel Carnahan, and Carnahan was killed in a plane crash right before the election. Ashcroft was still soundly defeated. My aunt, who worked at the Missouri Capitol, has a few stories about him and others that don't quite correspond with their public, conservative image.
I have the old REI version of the Cycles Gladiator jersey - sleeveless.
So, I put it on and we headed out on the Silver Comet trail here in Georgia, aiming for the Alabama state line for a neat century and photo op. Five miles from the boundary, the skies opened, lightening all around and wind gusts straight out of the west forced us to turn back towards Atlanta.
Guess that's a pretty powerful ban. :cool:
:D :D :D Wow, I could say so many things non-PC things . . . . :p
Well, that is starting to change.. Free the Hops just got a bill passed that raised the limit of alcohol content in beer. It's a step in the right direction at least.
The 300,000 southern Baptists sign is before my time, but I think this is in the same vein. It's on I-65N just north of Montgomery (just past the Prattville exit).

<rant>Because, you know, as long as you go to church you're fine.. doesn't matter about what kind of person you are, so long as Sunday morning your butt is in a pew</rant>
Girl, stop showing these people that stuff. They won't come down here. We can protect them. :D
Everybody else, we're not ALL that way. Our regular Tuesday night social ride ends at a place with multiple restaurants, food and beverage choices, and we enjoy our beverages. Likewise after a Saturday ride, it's Katie bar the door to the beer cooler.
I have plenty of jerseys. However I intend to make a point by buying one of these and wearing it often.
