Discopants and Haircuts

I gotta write something before I black out. No seriously, I decided to drink one of the bottles of beer I made this week. I know, I know, it’s before the 6-10 days I am supposed to wait. Wow! Holy shit! The beer is delicious! It’s really good. The problem is that it has too much strength, or as I call it, ‘love’…

I’m okay though. What it has is a real beer taste. It doesn’t taste like it was made in a factory. It tastes like.. like… victory.

Joseph Conrad and Marlon Brando aside, I feel compelled to recommend another blog. Michael J Totten’s Middle East Blog. This is an amazing site. It’s all about an independent reporter in Iraq. In this article he reports about a Civil Affairs unit doing some important distribution of food, water and beanie babies. Hearts and minds my friends. It also happens to be my old MOS. CA all the way. They are stationed in Rochester, not too far from Buffalo. The thing I appreciated the most about this site was how well the stories are told. They are told with honesty, pictures and (what appears to be) complete objectivity.

I hope this guy doesn’t end up a statistic.
