2016 sierra beer camp
welp... it's sort of fruity. my first one was OK. i'll definitely have another, but i'm not going to run all over town to buy up all the stock.

egg in a hole
my first (and surely not my last) attempt at egg in a hole!
butter your bread as well as grease/oil the pan. i cut the hole in my bread first with a juice glass.
flip. dammit, i broke a yolk.
here, we'll cover the broken yolk with meunster cheese!
almost ready.
topped with siracha and ready to eat!

troll way from insight brewing
the kids over at insight sure are doing it right! yeah, it's citrusy but it's not clumbsy and piney like a fizzy gin. drink this!
guinness ipa
don't turnbone down if it's in front of you, but don't go too far out of your way to get in front of one.
it is very subtle, maybe i was expecting a little more of something to chew on.

photos and thoughts from tonight
very random subjects!
how can a skyline
be so playful?
when its friends the clouds
hang low
so they can make some mischief
and have some fun
challenging and obscuring
the enormous anchors to...
our perceptions of reality.
it's a-liiiiiiiive!
rooting
of the cuttings
in the window over my sink.
that the organs for life
in this context can look so monstrous,
makes you think.

maroon & bold
fabulous, 100% MN sourced double IPA. maroon & bold, a double infuriatingly passive aggressive ale!

backwoods bastard
wow, this is a bourbon barrel aged ale. you totally smell the bourbon but there is very little bite when it hits the mouth. i think you'll miss out on a lot of the character if you try to drink this one from the bottle, so... just get a glass, ok?

final flowers of autumn
ran around the yard, today, capturing color that may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you are looking for color in autumn in minnesota.
it's fun to find the surprises, like late flowers. some are loud and defiant. some, faded and ready to be done.

failed new road design in roseville, ramsey county
Victoria street (Ramsey County road 52), between County road B and Larpenteur Avenue was repaved and reconfigured this summer. It went from a stretch of road that was awesome to cycle on northbound and southbound, to... safe nothbound 
and a RIDICULOUSLY UNSAFE southbound lane:
Why? Are there no cyclists working in the traffic engineering groups in Roseville or Ramsey County?
This design was utter crap for safe, bikeable, pragmatic streets. Why? Let's not build new surface streets that are cycling hostile.

flowers in the window
and, finally, just slowed the shutter way down to let the light just bleach it out and let the light slice through the flower. now the petals look more like brushstrokes.
