    I've just been made aware that today, May 2nd, is International Scurvy Awareness Day! Thankfully I subscribe to the Pirate Guys' Newsletter "Poopdeck", otherwise I might have missed it! So today; avoid scurvy - eat a lime.

    Juice of 1/2 Lime
    Coca-Cola
    Mixing instructions:
    Pour lime juice into a highball glass over ice cubes. Add rum, fill with cola, stir, and serve.

    Cuba Libra

    Squeeze Lime, fresh
    Fill with Coca-Cola

    I never had much of a problem with scurvy. But then again, I drink a lot of Margaritas.
