In the UK today is called a bank holiday but here the banks were even open. Is there a country more keep to drop holidays than Canada? It is on all the evidence the best day to buy meat as the entire A&P meat section was on about 50% off and, so, it has been … Continue reading “Easter Monday”
3043 visits from 1282 visitors yesterday. I wonder if you post an item about a Chinese dissident whether that triggers the Chinese government’s bots. Anyway, biggest day – and even on a Monday when I am elected only Mr. Fourth. Wooo. If you are actually human and stop by here, please sign the guest-book-like thingie.
Tra-la? Really?? How many times have you had to write to remind me not to repeat myself in these weekly notes to myself? I know. I know.* But in my defence, I am a man of little imagination.

As illustrated with a far better camera than the one that tried to capture my view of my new pal and … Continue reading “Well, That Was The Eclipse That Was… And Now Here Are The Beery News Notes”
I couldn’t stop myself from reusing this image…*** A couple of weeks ago, I flagged the upcoming solar eclipse that is passing over our region, as illustrated again above. All other topics have stopped, it seems. We are calm and composed but at the other end of the lake, the Ontario version fo Niagara Falls … Continue reading “The “What’s Beer Got To Do With The Solar Eclipse” Edition Of The Beery News Notes”
Let’s get right into it. Jeff posted the graph right above us right there this week which deliciously not only sums up the place of non-alcoholic beer in the US market but also, as any good specific graphical representation of data, also invites us to consider any number of the crises in beer or in … Continue reading “The Super Fantastic Yet Soon To Be Chocolate Stained Easter 2024 Edition Of Your Beery News Notes”
Fine. It may be spring but it was also -4C on Tuesday morning. Better warm up before eclipse day. They say half a million people might head our way. There’s not enough food to feed that many people… let alone a good seat at a bar. I’ll be in the backyard, myself.

This is it! I know… I know. It’s like a weather bore blog around here with some news items Scotched taped on – but really is there any better day to see coming than the first of spring?
