Two words - Deep Sea Chicken Farming!! Think about it.

New study - if you drink 3 or more energy drinks in a day you will have problems sleeping. REALLY??

Today I will start making a batch of "Baileys Irish Cream" Never made it before. The one thing I'm confused about is if the REAL Baileys Irish Cream has milk products . . . how does it stay fresh.
Anyway I have the recipe (more like making a strong milk wine then beer) and will attempt it. Then next week I brew a batch of my all time best brew - Dbl Chocolate Stout.

Been working on 5 large images for a research company in Madison for a large wall so I have not had a chance to do much more photogizing. I did send one image away for printing yesterday in preparation for Springfield IL (land of Lincoln and all that).
--------------------------
A couple months ago I was on the road and needed a quickie burger or something. So I drove into a McDonalds and had a cheeseburger. Something odd happened. I only ate half of it. My taste buds rejected it and when I got home I told DJ that I no longer liked McDonalds cheeseburgers.
Have not been to a McDonalds since. Yesterday McDonalds came out and said that for the 1st time in 9 years they had a drop in sales.
I did not know I was eating that many!!

Seems I was mistaken about our Police Chief - he now lives in Columbus. I stand corrected.
Had some feedback on my comments about not hiring people from Columbus for jobs IN Columbus. I guess I'm a conservative right winger in this regard. If you work in government I believe you should live in the Town/State/Country that is paying your wages.
The argument was that a company/government should ALWAYS hire the most qualified person. If this were the case perhaps we should have someone from the UK or maybe France run for President. Perhaps we should fire all American employees and hire Indians. Perhaps we should outsource our government jobs overseas.
As far as private industry I'm not so strict but I feel if you have a company in Columbus you should go out of your way to hire someone that lives in Columbus. Small towns are like families and I feel you should hire your family, even if there is someone slightly more qualified.
My off the cuff argument was about the woman who stole money in the Columbus bank and that MAYBE if she did not live in Beaver Dam, but lived in Columbus, she would not have stolen fellow townies money. But I suppose she could have stolen from hundreds of thousands of people money, I really don't know.
ANYWAY - I STRONGLY feel that if you are on the City Council, Police Department, Fire Department or any organization that deals with Columbus politics, you should live in Columbus.
The observation was that if you grow up in Columbus and get a job in Columbus that somehow it means you are a country bumpkin and have not experienced the outside world. I would love to see just how many people that live in Columbus actually grew up here. I bet the percent would be surprisingly low. Columbus is a bedroom community. Many people that live here don't spend a dime here.
Makes sense.
If you work in Madison or Sun Prairie or Beaver Dam you have access for much more the Columbus has and are in a routine. That is why I go out of my way to buy what I can in Columbus.
In other news it seems that the new Columbus Home Town Shopko is the lowest ranked Shopko of them all. Hopefully it's because it's new. I hope that is not one of the TIF area, I think it was (not a fan of TIF projects but they have their uses).
The only hope is that more commercial development will spring up next to it (I believe that has to be the plan). BTW - get your prescriptions out of Walgreens who tried to steal Sharrow Drug customers. Take your prescriptions to Shop-Ko where Sharrow is now locate and have a flashy new drugstore and hired all of the Sharrow employee's. Nick is still in charge.
Again, keep your money in Columbus and not some corporate behemoth who never did pay me for the postcards they purchased and sold.
OH - and Sharrow Downtown is still open. Awesome little gift shop (I guess you would call it). Sort of like a nice Five & Dime. . . . . remember "Dime Stores?"
---------------------
Black Friday will start Thursday it seems but remember - there are better deals online. We purchased our snow blower on Black Friday online. Better deal they going into the stores.

Karl Rove's PAC groups spent $103,000,000 (that's one hundred and three million dollars) and not one of his candidates won!
I just can not believe that Romney was surprised he lost. REALLY? Seriously? I actually thought FOX News and the Republicans were just spinning when they were saying they were going to win but . . . THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVED IT. and these guys think they are good with numbers?
Kind of scary ain't it.
-------------------------
But the REAL bad news is about coffee. Arabica beans (the GOOD coffee), under three different carbon emission scenarios, under the BEST scenario will have 65% less yield. Arabica coffee comes from "very limited genetic stock," so scientists are scrambling.

Have a great weekend - Could break records on Saturday for warmth. Probably not but . . .
