Cool Food Site for Williamsburg

This site (williamsburgeats.com) came to my attention and I thought I would share. The do have my favorite BBQ place as the only location under their BBQ category. I think I like the simplicity of it actually.

Found the one Republican in San Fran

It is hard to see in the photo, but that is a McCain sticker on his bumper. Good news, he's enviornmently friendly.

We had our second meal at Grubstake near the corner of Polk & Pine in San Fran. Good stuff, cash only.

More to come...

The Ballad of Sahkheed

Sahkeed's father was a few hours of beer and his mother was two double vodka gimlets. He definitely burned twice as bright for half as long. He suddenly appeared at the Inn where we were staying for the TAP NY beer festival and proceeded to challenge everyone to feats of strength, i.e. arm wrestling. He was 3 for 3 until he started to falter. In the end he was 3 for 6 and couldn't go on. Then he just lay down and he was gone.

At the top of a lookout in the Catskills

If I could remember the name of the lookout I'd tell you, but we're near Wyndham, NY. It's a nice hike about 1.7 miles in.

Stuck on the train


Stuck on the train, originally uploaded by astoriahermit.

I am currently stuck on the train at my station watching the fire department walk by to address a track fire ahead. So now people are going between the cars and climbing over the guards onto the platform. What a good idea... Darwin's theories at work here in NYC.

Not to worry, I'm safe an it's above ground tracks so no nasty tunnel evacuations. And I just got off the train, via the doors.

Share Pangea Day?


Share Pangea Day?, originally uploaded by astoriahermit.

On my way to the bookstore to pickup a book on Java ( neither food nor country). 5th avenue is a zoo. Mostly tourists and rubes out on a gorgeous day.

In front of the Apple store on at these two dudes are hanging out in Share Pangea Day shirts... Could it be Dogfish Head brewery? They have a beer called Pangea. Or are the continents re-colliding on the tenth of May?
