Sorry about the previous unedited post, folks, I accidentally hit 'Send'.
From: James Renfrew <jim.renfrew@xxxxxxxxx>Drinks? When actually DXing, it was usually about the caffeine: tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and cola prevailed. Beer, wine, and that distinctive local "hooch" known as "Newfie Screech" weren't usually trotted out until the last DXpedition night as a celebration of the "job well done" and as a sort of farewell send-off.
Screech? Excellent stuff, Jim, glad to hear you've partaken of it! They sell it here to the west on the northern Maine border. So called because you slug it down and do so...
Excellent ear lubricant, too. Drink enough and you can hear all kinds of things.
Now that I live up here I must admit to contemplating an expedition or two myself. Caraquet or Kouchibouguac national park look interesting...
