Odds & Ends: Dodge sheetmetal


Basha Burwell caught this rig in the parking lot of the New Hampshire State Liquor Store off I-95 a couple of miles north of the Mass. line. NH make money selling booze to Mass. residents, who can only buy in small, usually overpriced and understocked neighborhood liquor stores in the Bay State. What are the ethics of one state earning revenue selling booze & cigarettes in huge emporia located right on the interstates? (There are 18 miles of NH on I-95 between Mass. and Maine and easy-off 2 liquor barns in either direction.)
Oh well, no one ever said it was ethical. 
Live Free or Die. I never really believed that "or". Let's get real. Living free or not, it's still "and".
