This is all much easier where I live. A two block walk to my local tavern.
Living a "simpler life" there in Dixon seems to have backfired in this case.
Busy then? Ah, the trials and tribulations of rural life. Is 'rough draft' a subtle reference to the trek across the mesa to indicated tavern, quality of the house 'ales' or shoddy camera work? Or maybe a combination of all three?
After the ale at the Blue Heron, did you continue on to the therapeutic waters at Ojo Caliente just like a few used to do in the old days? Next time I'm in Dixon I look forward to recreating the trek complete with a fine, cool IPA. Lucky for y'all the flood waters had receded permitting such a rough trip to ye local brewpub. Did you return via the same route?
Ah yes Big-Headed Jeff, I see what you mean. We'll soon be upgrading to "Horse and Buggy" for our trips to the "tavern"... now that will be the high life! As for you Normal Size headed Alex... all I can say is "yes". Mr. Hop-headed Lorenz, I must say that we did not go on to the therapeutic waters, however, that is a fine suggestion. Indeed we look forward to your next visit when you can join us on our next excursion.... and no we did not return via the same route... we caught a ride via motor car back to the abode. A pint AND a growler refill all for $7.95. Sounds like paradise to me!
That's my kind of beer run! Although, if I know the way, I think I'll be a few pints ahead of you by the time you get there...
This terpsichorean trek certainly intitules you three intrepid tipplers to a motorized return. Thirteen thank-yous.
Another idea (and this has worked out well for me) is to keep some bottles of beer in a refrigerator in your home.
This makes it much easier to grab a cold one by simply getting up off the couch and walking into the kitchen.
It also helps in avoiding twisted ankles, snakebites, and all manner of hazards associated with being "outdoors".
Aren't you supposed to sing beer songs when you get to the tavern...or were you just sparing us that part?
In Texas, we keep beer in growlers, cans and various-sized glass bottles in refrigerators located in the Northern-most and Southern-most ends of our abode, so as to avoid all the aforementioned hazards. But, every so often, we have to trek 1/2 mile down the lane (which can be riddled with poor drivers, out of control city buses and unstable cyclists) to the IGA beer cave. Some day we'll be able to send our kids instead of trekking there ourselves.
Boy! Nothing kicks up the site traffic like a beer post. Now I know something about the demographic.... but yes, beer songs! Next edition. Stay tuned!
A trip to the local bar as "wilderness trekking?" Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
