The sarcasm runs deep in this Saturday Night Live skit from December 1993 but the absurdity of “gun freedom control” laws is obvious.

Flying Dog K-9 Winter Ale

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Nov 29th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Ok, my aversion to Winter is no secret. However one thing I do like is the appearance of the Winter beers. Not the spiced up ales, but it’s the rich malty beers, and high ABVs, that I look forward to. Even though it’s not officially Winter yet, aroun…

We first acquired our bottles of The Brewer’s Art Green Peppercorn Tripel after the original bottling back in 2007. The bottles were a gift from my parents who ventured into Baltimore specifically to visit The Brewer’s Art to get the beer f…



Black Friday Crowds

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Nov 26th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

No, not at the mall. I try to avoid crowds of angry, desperate, and sometimes violent, people. There’s no way I’m going to a store on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Instead we opted to spend time at a more sane location – the shooting range. …
