The fest was pretty cool, with Turkish food and whirling dervishes on a stage. Their flag is white with a red symbol, hence the red dye. <br /><br />But yeah, it's really gross, especially WEEKS later.

I used to live in CT, and as one other reader noted, no sales after 9 pm. So I can go to a bar and get schnockered and drive myself home, but I can't buy any alcohol to consume in my own home, if it's after 9? Twisted and stupid, I say.

And in our town, it was just in the last year that we could actually buy any alcohol on Sundays. Even restaurants and convenience stores didn't allow beer and wine sales on Sundays.

In Pennsylvania, you can't buy any alcohol AT ALL in a grocery store (yes, you read that correctly).
