And in Newfoundland, the National Beverage is reputedly "screech",  what
you get (I think) when you rinse out an "empty" whiskey barrel with
(not too much :-) hot water.  I forget if you're supposed to add sugar
or lemons or something.

I don't look like that.  Fresh whiskey barrels are hard to come by.

BTW, Jeff, I see you and Terry are both signing with '><>'.  Is this
"IChThUS" or something more (or less) arcane?
