There is an old story told by a friend of mine about himself. It seems this
friend was working at his first job, at a restaurant in Massachusetts. Carl
Yastrzemski came in and ordered a beer. The waitress was busy so she asked
my buddy to get it. He being 18 and stupid, put ice in it and took it to
Yaz. The waitress when she saw what had happened apologized profusely and
really slammed my buddy. Yaz, seeing my friend cringe, said "that's okay,
that's the way I like my beer." Who knows, sounds apocryphal, my friend may
have transposed himself into it, but I like the story and its Friday.

I've got a lot of good belly laughs out of this beer thread. Actually I'm a
non drinker, but I think if I'd take it up again I'll do the Canadian ginger
ale 1/2 beer thing.

I hope others who have been taking life too seriously are laughing as much
as I am tonight. Tomorrow temperatures in S. California are again going to
be hot and dry and around 80 degree and up. How I hate these dry winter
conditions. No salt on the road but wall paper peeling off the walls, nose
bleeds from the dry temps, dry skin but balmy, absolutely beautiful
evenings.
