Yeah, that's only about 45 minutes up the road. YGPM.

Not being a coffee drinker, I never have to deal with that issue. Instead I get to whine about lack of non-mainstream beer choices at many restaurants (though this has gotten a lot better in the past few years).

On the plus side, I'm finding that even many local joints and regional chains increasingly stock at least one or two selections from Sam Adams, New Belgium, or both -- in bottles, if not on tap. While those are more in the mainstream than craft, it sure beats finding a row of taps that all end in some permutation of "Li(gh)t(e).

Yup. Not a fan of the SA summer seasonal, but the rest of 'em are generally solid, if a little pedestrian. In New Belgium's case, I don't much care for their flagship Fat Tire, but the rest of their beers range from OK to very good. A lot of places around the Chicago area also have Lagunitas; while technically owned by Heineken now the beers don't seem to have changed much from how they were pre-buyout, so Heineken was apparently smart enough to not mess with success.

If there's a small local brewery on the tap list I generally go with that, unless it's something I know I don't like.

If you like hoppy beers, then you'll like this one Lagunitas.

My wife and daughter noticed something interesting the other day. In drug commercials, when they get to the part near the end where they start listing potential side effects, they almost always cut to a scene with a cute dog. If the drug is something that would tend to be taken by senior citizens, there's usually a cute kid too (or instead). The more severe the side effects, the more likely a dog and/or kid will deployed as a distraction.

Followed closely by the lawyers trying to take most of the asbestos settlement pool.

Lately I've noticed that ads may include an asterisk, on a price for example, but never actually bother to tell you what it means. It's just weird, making me aware of the fact there's some sort of catch and then leaving it there.

Are you implying that Darth Vader moonlighted as a lawyer? (emphasis mine)

Today I was filling my trucks coolant while it was running, but I forgot to turn off the ac so the fan blasted coolant on my entire upper body. I taste like anti freeze.

At least it wasn't DEF.
