Tonight, Joan and I went to T-Joes, a Wyoming saloon located outside the Cheyenne city limits.

"Saloon" is a type of business designation in Wyoming.
A saloon can not be established in city limits, but can be outside of them within the county area.

At a saloon, patrons who sit in the bar area can
a) drink alcohol
b) eat food from the kitchen
c) smoke... that's right, *smoke*.

Today was my birthday.
For my birthday dinner I had a marinated rib-eye, two fingers of Maker's Mark neat, and an Ashton Heritage.

This would never have happened legally in Connecticut without special dispensation (cigar event held when restaurant was normally closed).

It is easy to forget the little liberties which have already been lost.
It was nice to have the simple pleasure of one of them back.
