the name "beer." But it is a big seller.

I never could figure out why anybody would drink "lite" beer.
But as you say, they do. Sometimes it's a problem for me on
a picnic where whoever brings the beer gets nearly all "lite."
I might have one of the few non-lites then switch to soda.
Better anyway, since daytime beer drinking in the sun ends up giving
me a headache if I drink more than one or two.

Dammitt, Dammitt, Dammitt... Long story short, Mrs JW and the little
frekin' second have been busy all summer and today was to be our first
day toghether on the lake. Took off for Mashapaug, about 23 miles
away, Got less than a half mile from the exit, and heard the tell tale
singing of a tire going, going, gone on the trailer. Took all the toys
out, battery, tubes, other equipment and took the family home. Grabbed
a couple of the sandwiches, some gatoraide, a guitar, and went back to
the boat to get the engines (padlocked, outboards) and wait for triple
A. The guy had a nice new rig with a smooth plate body, my old one was
this funky grooved aluminum. Anyway, he followed me home, got a nice
tip, and I will fix the tire and try again tomorrow.
