what's worse than no gas for your new Piaggio BV 350? No ice for your beer. Poor ian-pix. He is roughing it in Maryland tonight. Anyone else with power failure after the storm?
unlike an Irish pub, the ambient temps in Maryland are in the 90s so technically "hot beer"....he managed to get some ice today after waking up at 0430 for an "ice shipment" that never arrived, he ran into an ice truck later that day. Still no power but easier to handle after a couple of cold ones
While I am a longtime fan of beer good enough to be served "unchilled" in the British fashion, there's a big difference between that and beer served at temperatures approaching body temperature. Courage.
These are sad days indeed. I never thought I would here of a fellow American having to drink 90 degree beer. This is truly a wake up call for us all and I for one am going to do my part by donoting an ice cube to Goodwill today, I will leave it in the drop off box on my way to work. Of course, just like donating a can of yams during a food drive, I am going to dig out the ice cube that looks as though it has been frozen and refrozen several hundred times and somehow smells of an odd combination of pickles and garlic......Karma point for me!
