Interesting thought: I probably couldn't find a lump of coal if I wanted to these days. I distinctly remember there being a coal yard kiddy-corner from my parents' house when I was growing up but finding a lump of coal anywhere in Chicago these days? Fergit it.

Fortunately, however, there is no shortage of whisky that I am aware of...
