Looks like happy hour at the local bar and grill. Now I’m wondering. Where is the black box or red phone or whatever it is where he orders the missile launching? Is it under the table or has he lost it? Maybe he let one of the ladies in the picture have it. “Hey, you won’t believe the stuff that happens if you press these two buttons together.” Or does he give it to Joe Biden? Is Joe the designated missile launcher? Why is everybody so happy? Did he just got off the phone with the Ole Ball and Chain? “I’ll be home when I’m home Michelle, jeez!” I wonder if he has any good jokes? Does he ever work? Where are the Secret Service guys? Maybe those are the secret service guys!

I have all these questions today. I need some answers.

I’ve been doing some more research into me and O’s mutual hobby.

First up is Mendocino Brewing Company’s Blue Heron Pale Ale. It is very good and drinkable. I liked it but it still doesnt’ quite have the “bite” I’m looking for in a pale ale. Still I give it 3 stars out of 4. It’s good, but I’m still looking for a great IPA.

Second is Flying Dog’s Snake Dog India Pale Ale. This is a unique tasting brew. It doesn’t quite have the bite but it has a very nice almost fruity taste to it that finishes out a little bitter (good bitter). I found it unique and would try it again. 3 stars out of 4.

Hey, anybody out there have any ideas about beer? Let me know. I’d like to try your recommendations, if I can get them.

Oklahoma has strange liquor laws which precludes the selection that other states have. When we travel out of state I feel like a kid in a candy store. My absolute favorite beer, that I can afford, is New Belgium Brewery’s Fat Tire Amber Ale. Which I can buy all I want at a corner grocery store almost anywhere in the US but nowhere in Oklahoma, legally I mean!

Do you suppose the “Beer Drinker in Chief” would order the suspension of those laws? They inhibit interstate commerce which is illegal right? We could make it part of the stimulus package.
