The two separate incidents occurred on Big Pine Key between approximately 3:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. • Three bundles — each containing 10 separate packages of cocaine — with a total weight of nearly 75 pounds were located by a resident near the water on Long Beach Road. • Twenty-five bundles with a total weight of approximately 70 pounds were found just offshore of Big Pine Key by a good Samaritan Gwen Filosa @KeyWestGwen Drugs! $2M worth of cocaine washed up Monday on Big Pine Key in two separate instances, @mcsonews says. Locals are all like, “back in the 70s we did drugs too and we’d have taken it up north and buy Buffett tickets not call the fuzz.” No you wouldn’t, Greg. No you wouldn’t. GWOTW Ingo Corner

0:00.0	Hi everyone, welcome to the Golden Ratio Podcast. I am Jen, G.R. Mom, joined us always
0:13.4	by G.R. Dad. Hi. How's it going G.R. Dad? It was fine. Excellent, excellent. The
0:18.4	cultural of the week this week is the Harvard. Yes. In honor of you being a Harvard graduate
0:26.4	and me being a current Harvard student. Yes, yes. Welcome to the dysfunctional family.
0:35.5	So the Harvard is a cocktail that has been around not as long as Harvard the University,
0:41.6	but since 1895. I mean that's the first time it was printed in 1895. So obviously the
0:47.3	drink was around. Harvard has been around since the Aztec Empire will not quite. I was talking to
0:52.7	somebody about this and I love these facts, these like these timelines don't make sense together,
1:00.0	kind of facts. And I just read one about Harvard which was for the first few years of Harvard's
1:05.7	existence they didn't teach calculus because calculus hadn't been invented yet. Isaac Newton
1:10.5	invented calculus but like a few years after Harvard was founded. Disappointingly it wasn't
1:16.3	invented at Harvard. No, it was not. We tried. So the Harvard cocktail is cognac sweet vermouth
1:26.0	and in friends I have avoided making so many cocktails for cocktail of the week because they use
1:31.5	vermouth because I am not a vermouth fan. And I was like doing some cocktail research a few weeks
1:38.0	ago and came across a suggestion that one could replace sweet vermouth with lillit
1:43.7	blanc which I like very much. Yeah, weird. I wouldn't have thought of those as the same as like
1:49.3	substitutable. Apparently like it's it's the number one bartender suggested substitution for
1:55.1	sweet vermouth as lillit blanc which I like. So now I'm finding all these cocktails a call for
1:59.0	vermouth and I was like well I will make that the genway with lillit blanc instead of vermouth. So
2:04.8	the Harvard has cognac sweet vermouth but I use a lillit blanc. Simple syrup angastura bitters and
2:11.2	then club soda. Maybe you've turned it into the red cliff. Which is better has a cool crest.
2:19.8	I know but it was really a tool of the patriarchy to oppress women. Red cliff?
