March 27, 2024
The latest string of auto thefts has placed everyone on edge, from daily commuters to car dealers. Take this story from Orleans resident Austin Lonsdale as a prime example. He drives a 2021 Honda CRV, a 3-year-old crossover SUV. He recently received a letter in the mail from a car insurance company, with a stern warning attached. If he didn’t purchase a $450 car tracker at a Speedy Glass location of their choosing, he would be slapped with a $400 yearly surcharge on his insurance premiums.

I’ll begin by stating that this is not so much an essay about Diet Pepsi as it is about wine. I came out of the COVID-19 years drinking a glass of wine a day, two if I was writing, in addition to my usual weekend consumption of plentiful wine over dinner with friends.
