Not me. I live in a southern swamp and eat mud bugs on occasion.

Do you have a still? @MistyCee

MistyCee

@jackjjackson No, but my next door neighbor brews his own beer. Does that count?

A lot of coastal elites do that or so I hear. I prefer a nice cocktail most of the time and the occasional Heineken light when it’s hot and I’m on the beach. Not a wine drinker either. Does one have to be a wine expert to be a coastal elite? @MistyCee

MistyCee

@jackjjackson Hmm. He's a pretty stalwart non-liberal political type. Me, I'll confess to enjoying beer and grocery store type wine, as well as hard liquor. Does the fact that I'm not a wine connosieur clear me of the coastal elite charge as well?

I would not look at being a coastal elite or being a clinger of guns and bibles a “charge”. Both can be looked at positively and negatively. . @MistyCee

MistyCee

@jackjjackson Whew. That's a relief, because there's a Bible or three in my house, and I don't think I could find them quickly enough to avoid prosecution on that charge either.

Seriously. What is this world coming to anyways? @MistyCee
