• oh: and she’s like you didn’t die in a past life when you were a warrior of whatever #
• @StanHieronymus Ha, funny! I was in that exact Panera 2 weeks ago. Is there a Mary Kay meeting going on now too? #

• Damn — iPhone 3G dead again — restoring yet again. This shouldn’t take but 6 hours or so. FYI — don’t do updates from the App Store app. #
• Well the restore has started — maybe the backup actually worked this time? #
• Well the restore was going good — seems to be stuck at about 95% for the last 30 minutes or so. Might just head to bed and check in the AM #
• Pork Store for breakfast with the Snowy Biscuit. Yummy. Now to get some work done before the beer tasting this PM. #
• BTW — iPhone restore actually worked this time. Preferences, etc. OK. But icons arranged incorrectly. #

David Keene, owner of Toronado, made an interesting discovery in the basement of the Toronado recently while doing a little clean up. A few assorted kegs close to 20 years old. Some of the original 60 Corny kegs that he bought to transport beer to and from breweries, way back in the beer stone ages, before microbreweries had any sort of distribution. One of those kegs, with a label withered but still readable might have been the first ever keg of Boont Amber.

Hopefully David will be able to find an empty spot on a wall somewhere to display this keg. Any who know what else he might find in that basement?
