Christopher Dodd did not mention the freedom from the fear of carrying a mass of parasites.
I hope the emergency rooms are prepared for the flood of people coming in due to wounds from
rape because we all, at least hard working self sustaining Americans, are being screwed.

Its hard to not drink when its snowing

Not that what is falling right now is really snow, but it is winter white stuff. From what the Great Instigator told me the other day two feet of snow fell on Tuesday down in Flagstaff. I used to love walking down to the brewery, sitting towards the front end of the bar and watch snow and pedestrians fall. Seeing Phoenicians slide and spin across route 66 while Griper would see to it that my glass was never empty. Great days for Old Crustacean!

Its also difficult to not drinking while sitting at a computer. Or it could be that it is difficult to sit at a computer when not drinking. Hence the lack of hardly believable tales from A Free Wheelin life. Only two more months (did I just write only?) and the beer will be flowing. I am already planning my beer menu for that extended weekend. The first night will be a handful of Belgians. The next will be Thomas Hardy's Ale, and JW Lees Harvest ale vintage comparisons. The third night is reserved for Barley Wines, and the fourth for Porters and Stouts. Only two long months.
