Random observation, apropros of nothing

I really need to teach my nephew to drink decent beer. Seriously.

While I was at the ranch this past weekend, said nephew had bought some "beer". He's a poor, struggling college student and had to go the cheap route, so I shall forgive him this one time. But only this one time. Because in his defense, his Dad told him to grab some cheap stuff. Which he did. In spades.

Now, on a warm day when you're doing lots of manual labor, nothing quenches a thirst like a beer. But since the nephew happened to purchase this vile crap, I had to make do with spring water and Wild Turkey. Not your standard thirst quencher, but it had to do in a pinch until I could get to the store and buy some decent stuff.

[sigh] Life is so hard.

On the upside, for Father's Day, Little Bro the Firefighter got this from his wife and kids. And we watched it. I even stayed up until the end (which was several hours past my normal bedtime).

Very excellent, I highly recommend it.

Thast's not beer, it's sex in a canoe.

Oddly enough, sex in a canoe sounds much better (and more interesting) than that beer.

He needs to learn the joys of boxed wine.
