Ohh the shame! drinking a bud in the rockies.. Pete coors would have me thrown in jail..

But those of us here in Bud-burbia are proud of you, MSG. Live long-neck and prosper. Or something like that.

St. Louis, Missouri, home of Budweiser. Well, at least the home of American Budweiser.

The real home of Budweiser is the Czeck city of Ceske Budejovice, or during German domination a few whiles back, it was translated to Budweis. In German, beer coming from Budweis is BudweisER. I think the translation is literally: “Of Budweis” or in English: “From Budweis”.

The two Bud’s have been duking it out for years in many different court systems over trademarks, etc. Here’s a link if you’re interested:

While in Austria and Germany a few years back, my b-n-l explained the conflict to me and I immediately asked where we might partake of this controversy. We found a local pub and I got myself a “real” BudweisER, drank it, and brought this refillable empty home as a souvenir (see: photo). The brown bottle color prevents the monster hops inside from turning skunky as you probably know.

Go Goose!

Our new baby, Chyna snuggling with me on the couch (cartoon by moi’).  We lost our sweet pug Jade in June while we were at the lake on vacation. 
Chyna is 8 months old and already a hefty 12 pound girl.  Love my pug!

Very sorry to hear about Jade, CG

Okay, here’s my mug shot…

Harley,
Thank you. I don’t know if you remember, but the end of June we took the family to Tablerock Lake/Branson for a week and met both of my brothers and their kids/families.  Jade was kenneled and started having seizures.  They rushed her to my vet down the street but she never came out of it.  Broke our hearts.

How I spend my winter.

Rich thats a nice DN iceboat BTW. I have an Arrow (rarely used since it rarely freezes at a safe level here) and race an MC scow.

My wife and I sitting in Camp Randall for the Badgers Football 2007 Season opener.  My older son to the right and younger son took the picture. 

MRS. & I ON VACATION.  SPLITTING WOOD KEEPS ME IN SHAPE.  Sorry about the yelling.
