Crazee

In all my years of guzzling beer...I am of age...I've gone through preferences as well as anyone...here's a fact that most can't fathom...I didn't have a beer until I was 21...really...my dad gave me a taste of his...like when I was a teenybopper, as he was having the ONLY one I ever remember him having...as he was watching a weekend boxing match...and I hated it!...probably pretty smart on his part...

But, I caught up with everyone pretty fast after...my twenties...my first?...Old English 800...yes, my good friends, I got violently ill from that...and delayed my imbibing a bit...until I had a tap beer...Miller's...at Samar's...in Salem, Orygun...coupled with fresh popcorn that Sarge would serve...how about that for a memory?...it was a new sensation...

The list arose quickly...Hamm's, Olympia, Blitz, and Budweiser...but, in that state, a unique thing was the law...a Colorado beer, Coors, couldn't be purchased due to the non-pasteurization of it...thus, it was coveted by me and all me buds...a trip to Washington or California was gold...golden...cuz, you always bought a case to bring back to share with EVERYONE...it's true...it was sold there...

One of my great memories that I have about the Coors...Marsh and I took off on a SoCal trip during spring break...in our VW Camper Van...made it all the way to Orland...as I stopped by a small market to get some Coors cans...a tall 6 pack...pulled into the RV Park...and set up the site...unraveled the kitchen table...for you who know about them VDoubs, it was a special moment...opened up the cooler and popped open one of them Coors...sat back and said 'ah, this is the good life!'...a true statement...Marsh looked at me, with daggers in her eyes, and was no longer smitten with me...

Time marches on...we even went through a spell that we made our very own beer...you heard that right...there was a place that you could do that...a Heferveisen...something like that...as peops were into different tastes of beer...we called ours 'Darmeister', after our Pommie....and actually gave quarts away for Xmas...talk about class...we had it all over us...

Now...there are these things called 'Growlers'...that many use for transporting their 'micro-beers'...seems like everyone is now making their own...yup, it is the thing...you may even have one...not moi, yet...

Anyway, there is this study out by some beer yahoos...that did their survey to list the top 3 in the land...this makes sense, as we always want to know who number one is in the USA...right?...here are the results....

3-  Miller Lite....2-  Coors Lite (now available in Orygun)...and, drum roll please...the most favorite beer in the land?...Bud Light...geez...that's what the Horse prefers, too...

The Ignominy

So much for diplomacy ... the absolute embarrassment by the current President of the US...his actions in 'hosting' the Ukranian President Zelensky ... as it turned out, a highly visual representation of bullying by trump...the manners and methodology that he uses on people...aligned with his arse kissers, waiting their turn to take potshots at Zelenksy...all well orchestrated ...it was the ULTIMATE IGNOMINY of our country's 'leader'...unfortunately, for us, too...as somehow we are connected to that ogre...in reality, we are not... hoping the rest of the World can see that...here are samples of the headlines throughout that depict the sentiment of the slaughter... We are NOT aligned with Putin...WE ARE NOT!...trump is ...which begs a different query...how much longer can this idiocy go on?... I keep asking this...what does Putin have on trump, anyway...it must be a formidable foible... Talk to me, kids... This ploy of the orange...to actually simulate a firing squa...

He is alive and kicking...

Top of the morning, friends...as we embark on a shortish Cosmo trip (6+ hours) up north to see the kids. ..we try to see them every month or two....whatever works for us, and them...school has just started for them...and Cy has both football and soccer, he is playing...Cas, at 3, is still a wannabe... The distancing of trump with the public, was a bit weird, right?. ..he emerged and was talking the same...his appearance was a bit shaggy...he must have had the flu, or, well, Covid, or something...but, he is NOT DEAD....and still up to his shenanigans...same old...anything to bring up, to divert the people from hearing about the Epstein Files ...he unabashedly, called the whole thing a 'Democratic Hoax'... Hmmm...as 6 of the Survivors of it...(the Epstein Case) ...were talking, not only to the House....but, to the public, yesterday...as MTG was front and center with it...which, too, was odd...a fallout from trump?...or, a plant within the group?...no, trump, it is not a hoax.....

Hometown Baseball

You might think back to all the rivalries you have witnessed over the years...in high school, college, ah, well, team sports...shoot, could be choirs, math contests, and the like...BUT...the thrill of it all, is what I am talking about...I could name a hundred such things...that I recall...however, right now...there is one brewing in the Gaslamp...the Friars are hosting the Bums...believe it or not, this is new...you see, the Padres have been borderline pathetic for many seasons...not that they haven't had good ones...but, consistency has not been a virtue...things have changed...and the squad has deepened... The Bums have long had their nemesis, and or rivalry cat, as the San Francisco Giants...no mas...it is the Friars...the team that knocked them outta the playoffs last year...and here they come, to make avenge...3 games this weekend over at Petco...they have been playing super lately...really really super...the Pads?...hit and miss...my guess, is that the juices will flow for b...
