Amazing read. My wife works professionally in this space; going to pass this article along to her.

I think my favorite Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest collaboration was 2017's with Brauhaus Miltenberger. It was a bit maltier than this year’s, and was absolutely delicious. Anyway, this year’s is really good, crisp, and easy to drink.

Murder capital in the early 1990s, baby!

You can get top-notch medical care in this country (respective to the rest of the world) if you have the means and the money. The problem with our current healthcare system is that too many people simply do not have access to quality care. That’s why people want to drastically change fundamental aspects of how people…

She says Ivanka (and Jared) “crashed” her father’s funeral.

Probably his best work was as DC in Washington during 2004-2007 seasons. Ranked in top five in most defensive categories across the board for a couple-few seasons, dragged the team to some wins when the offense couldn’t put points on the board, and essentially single-handedly won the only playoff game for the ’Skins…

Just looked it up. Damn, I’m jealous. How the hell did you get to watch that?

CMLL?

In the DC/MD area, it was on Saturday mornings around 11 am or noon-ish.

Well, goddamn. And I found this, which seems to corroborate your take:

As I recall, we can hear Mr. Pink and officers having a confrontation outside the warehouse, officers screaming at him to drop the gun, and then a hail of gunfire. Presumably, Mr. Pink gets shot down by multiple officers.

“Can’t scrap a lick / so I know you got your gat.”

Man, this brings back memories. Loved watching this show back in the day.

Good flick. Came out in the early ‘’70s. Redford plays a Mex-American war vet who retreats to the mountains to live off the land. He encounters hostile Native Americans, fights with and kicks everyone’s ass, grows a big beard, etc.

Saw that in theaters as well. One of my favorites. But yeah, at the time it was considered monstrously long.

Total gun ban.

Yeah, who knows. I think it’s possible there’s another angle here, but I’m not smartest to game it out. Trump may just want a “win.” Something to check off his list and prattle on about during election season. Either that or there’s a more oblique, nefarious purpose that some aide (Stephen Miller or someone) has…

I hope he’s clean now. I know he’s been fighting addiction for a long time.

Yeah, “Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid” is probably a close second for me. “Sting” third. I was never a baseball fan, so I know it’s blasphemy, but “The Natural” never did anything for me.

This just reminded me of the Bob Hughes soliloquy in “Drugstore Cowboy”:
