My Life is Really Boring - Maybe I'll Buy a New Pickup

Share this page

Latest full size truck ads showing "hands free" driving while hauling a$$ down the interstate is just irresponsible - stupid actually for the highly impressionable. What is that saying about idle hands?
 
So, are we all ready for "hands free driving" yet?

Yesterday on Rt 20 near Bradley Airport, I saw a guy in his top down BMW driving merrily along in medium traffic - both hands resting on the top of the windshield. (Can you say ostentatious ...?)

A truck swerved right in front of the BMW, driver slammed his hands on the steering wheel, BMW front fender wounded.

Is this the future? Just so we can text on our phones 24/7 and wave at people, instead of paying attention to the road around us?

yeesh
 
I'm a Shiner guy.

Shiner is a good, solid beer. I also recommend Altstadt's offerings from out in Fredicksburg, TX. Wasn't too much a fan of their Kolsh because it had minimal flavor (kind of reminded me of Bud Lite even though not sold as a light beer) , but their Amber and Schwarzbier are very nice.
 
Yuengling has become pretty popular here over the last couple of years. I remember it being pretty big 60 years ago when I was in the Army in Pittsburgh. And we also have a lot of local craft breweries too. And I do usually keep some CABs around for the reason Doc said. Those were never light beers though usually Budweiser, Pabst or Tecate, whichever was cheapest. Haven't seen Tecate in a while now though.

Mike - Strongbow is a good dry cider. Probably my favorite is Citizen Cider. Something I look for in cider is ingredients: it should only be apple juice!

Tecate is another one of my go-to beers. When I can find it.

Another good, but obscure, Mexican beer is Bohemia, taking its name from a region in the Czech Republic.

I need to re-learn cider. I used to enjoy it, but it seems the cider got sweeter with time and I stopped enjoying it. (Or maybe I got saltier 😀). But dry cider sounds wonderful. I’ll have to check out local beer house and ask for their advice…

Mike, unfortunately many of the good British and French ciders are "sweetened up" for the American taste buds. And many of the American ciders won't sell if they're "dry".

But we stumble on, nevertheless.
 
You got me Walt. 6 years ago I would have been 76. I don't think the Army would have had me at that age. I have since corrected the typo. Oh, an Shiner is also pretty good beer.
