Captain's Log

[ehowton]

Picked up Captain's Log: Fan's Collective Sunday at Best Buy. I found the entire 5-set 'Collectives' for $125 at Fry's Electronics last week, but my wife would shoot me in the eye if I bought that prior to closing on the house. This includes interviews with each of the Captains explaining how they chose their favorite episode to include on this set. So far, the lengthiest was William Shatner, and the most egotistical, in a surprise move, was Patrick Stewart (he chose his directorial debut). I haven't made it far enough through to see the others at this point. Its a nice distraction when I get home since my wife and children are gone. As I have no plans to purchase any of the seasons of any of the Star Trek franchise save Voyager (once their price is cut in at least half) I think I'll start picking the other collections up - though much to my chagrin, I've noticed quite a bit of redundancy on them.



Last night I was in the mood for beer. Good beer. I think its been all of princessleia2's posts here recently on the subject. I arrive at Fossil Creek Liquors as they have the broadest selection (too broad, really, for the demographic here - their Single Malt Whisky selection is unprecedented) and low and behold, the first thing I spy is a six pack of Kronenbourg 1664. I prefer my pilsner, but every once in awhile, I want a lager that will blow me away - and this is it. $9 a six-pack. Whoa. And not even litre bottles! I pick that up for last night, and for tonight, I chose a pint-bottle of the only krystal weizen I've ever seen stateside, Weihenstephaner from the oldest brewery on the planet (Est. 1040). Its a little heavier than my all-time favorite krystal weissbier, Binding Brauerei's Schofferhofer. Binding being a Frankfort-based brewery (close to Wiesbaden, where I was stationed in Germany) we enjoyed plenty of it.

Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra.

I remember. Worse than Virginia & NJ - "ABC" Stores. I was shocked when I was sent to Omaha, NE; hard liquor on the shelf at the grocery store!

But now the Mormons are trying to take it away from me, which is why I fight.

Maine allows grocery stores to sell hard liquor too, this is what I was used to before I moved to PA :)

Now, now. No hard feelings?! :)

None at all - when the fight is a fair one ;)

My apologies for being a lazy blog reader. I somehow missed the entire smear campaign and stalker lady posts. I'm curious. Is this lady LDS, because from everything I read, she isn't very good at it.(Though I'm sure there are a few of them going over the top over the issue.) I may say more if I find out she is... I'll leave it at that for now.

From my perspective. You have the right to vote how you want. I have the right to vote how I want. I would vote differently from you, not just because of what my faith teaches, but because of what I've seen irresponsible drinking do to some close friends and family of mine. I know there are thousands of arguments..., not the point. Point being I have a different idea than you but I'm not going to jump to conclusions and think you are out to get me. That lady needs to learn that other people can have other ideas that differ from hers. And just because she is a stalker doesn't mean everybody else is stalking her.

Keep it fair! ;)

Is she LDS? I don't know. They've been playing dirty politics in this town well before I showed up. To tell you how fair we're playing - we're not bringing religion up at all in our defense. We're going to play our entire game without it. It simply doesn't belong in this debate.
