utnereader: Bitches Brew: Women Make Gains in the Beer World: When the women we know belly-up to a bar, they’re more likely to order a pint of beer than a glass of wine or a frilly cocktail. We’re suckers for Surly’s CynicAle and Fulton’s Sweet Child of Vine, both from the rollicking Minneapolis beer-brewing scene.

Historian Alan D.

Another iphone ALMOST lost

I was trying on shoes at Macy’s and left my phone behind. Two lessons learned:
1.) there are still nice, honest people in this world who turn in things that don’t belong to them.
2.) I seriously need to learn to take care of my belongings. It seems like I’m losing or breaking expensive shet every other month…or more often than that even. This is so obnoxious!! I hope to finally learn!
