So, Ed, you live close enough to the Weeping Radish to go there and pick
up beer? I remember when that was still being brewed in Durham and
served at Durham Bulls games in the old ballpark (where Bull Durham was
filmed). Ah, memories of good beer and summer afternoons down south (it
just snowed up here in Maine, sigh).
And as an Austrian, I understand your sentiments about beer. Hirter for
me, please (from Kaernten...)!
