Gotta have a drink!


C'mon, JJ, you're ruining my health by not going out to have a beer or two.

And why isn't JJ drinking?

Good to hear JJ was drinking. I didn't even remember a baseball game was on this evening. Grandma had to tell me. Instead I sipped cold beer, worked on some archaeology article, and retired with George Orwell arguing for socialism in his Why I Write. To add context, George drafted that argument as England was getting bombed by the Luftwaffe and Co. As he scanned England, he just wasn't seeing the declared "Capitalists" as really caring about much more than making a buck -- England be damned.

With modification: when it's the late 1930s, and Germany and Japan are on the Fascist War Path, perhaps it's not a bad idea for the Federal Government to mobilize and organize the country. Upon the end of the war, however, the trick is trying to get the public to return to hunter-gathering for themselves.

Back to the game: did the Red Sox win, JJ?

Oops, link fixed. Obviously, my health is already ruined! At any rate, yes, I'm back from the sticks -- that's why I have internet access. Europe is a basket case when it comes to computers -- nothing works there. And, I did watch a few innings of the ballgame, but it was raining, and those Colorado pretenders sucked, so I gave up. Is it gonna be any better tonight? I'll give you a call, JJ.

Seems to be a theme throughout history...

Okay, the article came through this time. Sounds like 3-to-5/day is how many we should be hammering down.

At that rate, JJ is probably doing double and triple duty/day.

About the cask.

Cask sounds good, AI. I imagine it'll be a while before it's available in Dakota. I'll be in Vegas over Christmas though -- certainly a Western hub of decadence -- so I'll keep an eye out.
