The ocean ones hold no interest. Plus I don’t drink at all. I have no alcohol issues and I don’t mind if people want to drink. That is up to them. I should clarify that my not drinking is related to all alcohol tastes bad to me. I never acquired a taste for any alcohol. Which is not to say I haven’t had alcohol because I have.

On a related note, I visited some customers in Western NY and stayed at the Seneca Casino overnight because I couldn’t find a hotel I wanted. I went to dinner and the dinner was nice. I had to walk through the games to get to the restaurant. I have never seen so many walkers, scooters, canes and people carrying oxygen in one place in my life. I was stunned.
