The whiskey is on the bar shelves, but as I currently have 37 whiskies there is no room to leave your money there. Since I'm not going to give you the keys to the cash register, do the right thing and leave it on the fridge. > Heathen! During the summer the temperature inside the bar would sometimes soar into the high 30's (metal roof, airconditioner turned off before preparation time). Walking in there an hour or so before opening time was like entering a sauna. I ended up putting the whiskey and a few other things in the wine cellar, and reset it to 18 degrees. -- "You are about to embark on a course of studies which... form a noble adventure.
