Ashore. Cute. Think we might need a keg of Guinness today. (and yes, Googled to confirm, though I would have gotten there anyway, just with less confidence).

On Shore, not a lot of time to spend with Isaac this week.

Going with a Buffalo Trace Bourbon this week.

When it hits it hits, but did google to confirm.

Glad I looked at the prompt again! Got it. On shore.

Quick edit: yes, I did google a bit.
Happy to give nudges. If you notice I've solved, please tell me about avenues you've explored so I can nudge you in the right direction and not off a cliff.
