Alice

As i mentioned in my first blog i work at a liquor store. In working in this environment i get to meet and see many individuals throughout the day.From watching the nightly news and reading the local papers and hearing from neighboring citizens Alice has gotten a reputation as a somewhat unwelcoming ,rude ,aggressive even violent place.I agree there are quite a few questionable individuals and I have seen my share of petty crimes in process . Regardless, of this I am privileged to see the greater essence of the humanity in this town. 99.5 percent of my customers are always respectful and courteous and greet me kindly as i give the mandatory welcome to the store. I have seen tattoo faced "thugs" ,ear gauged rockers and roughneck cowboys wait quietly and patiently together in line as our registers crashed on New Years Eve by far the busiest day of the year. Many were more apologetic to me for having to work the register then angry for the 45 minute wait they endured. I still have faith in humanity and i still see the good in all of us.

My First Time

This happens to be my first blog or journal or well any written account of my thoughts and experiences.It seems fitting to use this first blog as an introduction.I'm Lorenzo Chapa I moved to Alice Tx a couple of years ago from a small ranch in a town you have never heard of ,kinda like Urban Cowboy.I'm a joker also. I work full time as asst. manager at The Jigger a store that sells Wine & Spirits. Through this job i have learned much about wine champagne and all types of liquors and i have come to thoroughly enjoy helping customers find the right wine for a special occasion or right liquor for a party . My other passion is completing my goal of earning a bachelor's degree which I am about half way too. Through this blog I intend to give a glimpse into my life but also would like to answer or discuss any questions you all may have on wine or spirits.
