This is a small town Pennyslvania squirrel...

Look!! He's "bitter and clinging to his gun"!

And for this Mr. Obama, here's your sign:

Pork Chops & Apple Sauce

Formerly Pork Chop, the mascot's new name is Ferrous

To make a long story short, this is one more example of our society bowing to political correctness. A 5yo girl for crying out loud chose the name of the mascot and had no intention of offending anyone. A few complained and they gave in. The mascot is a pig, not a Latino. I searched google images for pork chops and guess what? NOT ONE Hispanic or Latino showed up in the search! Next thing you know, they will want the name of the cut of meat changed as well. It's all in the context as this gentleman points out Context of mascot's name made it inoffensive. Buck up people and quit crying every time something doesn't make you happy. By the way, after this post I'm writing a letter to Nabisco to have the word cracker taken off of their saltine packages. It just makes me sick each time I reach for that box. ;)

God Made Me Smoke It!

Well, well, well. No surprise here. This loser continues digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole. Michael Vick Tests Positive for Marijuana. Maybe that Water Bottle Incident wasn't a fluke after all. Just like Paris, Michael has found God & Jesus Disgraced Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Vick Finds Jesus. I'm sure God made him smoke that marijuana. Funny how celebrities only find God & Jesus after making poor decisions. I wonder who will be next?

I Love A Challenge, & Beer Too!

Lew Bryson - Pennsylvania Breweries

I received this book as a gift last year and have enjoyed it immensely. Beer followers are aware that Michael Jackson recently passed away. No not THAT Michael Jackson, unfortunately that freak is still alive. Michael Jackson the beer/spirits critic. Another writer that enjoys craft beers and spirits is Lew Bryson. This book reviews all of the Brewpubs in Pennsylvania, critiques their brews, the food and the atmosphere. He also gives the reader directions on how to get there! My wife and I have used this book throughout the summer for several day excursions. My goal is to visit each one listed in the book. No I'm NOT an alcoholic. I enjoy craft beers and find it difficult to drink the watery domestics that are produced for the masses. Brew pubs succeed and fail all the time, but have no fear! Lew has a website where he updates closings and openings; Lew Bryson.com and a blog too LewBryson.Blogspot. Lew has also written books for other areas along the East Coast, so if you're a reader outside the Pennsylvania area, you just might be in luck!

We've visited a good majority of those listed in the book. Fortunately for us, we live in an area where there are several brewpubs within a two hour drive. A word of advice when visiting a brew pub/brewery, DO NOT order one beer from their menu. Ask if they have a sampler and try them all. The samples are small enough that you will have no problem driving, (unless you weigh about 60lbs). More often than not, you will order a beer you may not like and end up with a bad experience. Each brewery usually has several beers on tap with varied tastes. There is usually something for everyone, but do not expect beers like Coors Light or Miller as you will be sorely disappointed. Enough rambling for now. In a future post, I will list some of the places we've been!

Hey, Come on in!

Mexican Trucks Will Have Unlimited Access to U.S. Highways I'm sure all the drivers will be able to read English so when the slippery when wet, bridge freezes before road, or reduced gear zone signs come up, they will be driving safely. Not to mention their trucks will be abiding by our governments safety and emission standards for commercial vehicles. That being said, I will leave you with this thought...Mexico dynamite truck explosion kills 34

That's all I have to say about that!

China executes ex-food and drug chief

China executes ex-food and drug chief
Too bad we can't do this for our government officials. Then we wouldn't have to worry about trying to impeach two lying morons. Oh yeah, we couldn't execute our corrupt government officials,who would run our country then?

It's that time of year again when I prefer to be outside rather than staring at a computer screen. The Spring consisted of a bathroom renovation which seems to have sapped most of my energy & creativity. These days the little creativity I have remaining can be seen on my Flickr account. I've contracted the shutter "bug" from Dorman and my father-in-law. With that being said, check back periodically. I just might be able to come up with something to say. TTFN.
