Thank you, Jim!

I looked up the sour toe cocktail, and apparently some jerk swallowed one of the toes in 2013. Then I found out other people have donated more toes over the years, since the toes used can eventually “degrade,” and some donations come after loss from frostbite, but others have come from gout, diabetes, and lawnmower or chainsaw accidents. The creator of the drink also willed his toes to the bar when he died in 2019, to help keep the tradition alive. This is another story waiting to happen.

This is another well written and disturbing story. The gradual yet rapid unmooring from reality seemed quite realistic. Next time you and Louise visit the states, you might enjoy a short trip north to visit the bar in Dawson City that serves the “sour toe cocktail”…….
