Just like Tim Kelly's blues

I took the plunge and bought one of the dusty 2 litre bottles of dnL at QFC last night. I poured the warm fluid over some ice cubes and sipped it. It's like a caffeinated 7uP. I don't think it's going to adhere to my crave database, but it's nice, and it wound me up so much I stayed up late rereading old "DTWO4" and "Rose is Rose" collections. (Pat Brady used to be pretty sharp, but the strip these days isn't much.) I drank a little more this morning to prepare for the trip out to Alki Beach. So much 7uP flavor in such a short time reminds me of the summer of 1976, when I drank all the 7uP I could get to collect the cans so I could build the Uncle Sam can tower. I might have burned out on the stuff.
