08.Dec.08 - 5:33p -Steve
Finacial portfolios have tanked, but I gotta admit, happy hours are still looking pretty darn good. Big updates to the list include Ivar's has caved into costs and increased their prices. Happy food is still a great bagran, but nothing like the bargans we had before. Rats. Still, no reason to sit at home and sob... So get out there!

Random Thoughts... Walking and Beer.
12.May.08 - 2:30pm -Steve
Rodney-T e-mailed a nifty study about walking and beer; 'A recent study found the average American walks about 900 miles per year. Another study found Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer a year... So the average beer-drinking American gets about 41 miles to the gallon.' - Kind of makes you proud to be an American - yes?
Food for thought indeed.
That cat Rodney is on it.. Thanks man.
