if it works for you, try the founders double trouble ipa. just became acquainted with that in the last couple of weeks. like the centennial, only a bit hoppier and a bit more alcoholic.

you know, this may be the first founders beer I wasn't crazy about - too 'grapefruity'

I am enjoying a dogfish head burton baton as we speak/type

a very interesting interview about the recent extreme snow events and a potential link with climate change...

"I think the "climategate" affair and the recent attacks on the IPCC and the head of the IPCC have been very effective in making the general public mistrust climate scientists and the science they do. What I like to call the "Manufactured Doubt Industry" is extremely powerful, experienced, media savvy and well funded, and a bunch of disorganized scientists bent mainly on pursuing the truth really can't compete".

interesting stuff

I was pleased to see him reference Chris Mooney because while I was reading that, it sounded like it was right out of his book (which it was).  Chris's first book "The Republican War on Science" was excellent and I had forgotten about "Unscientific America" after I read the first chapter in a bookstore last fall.  Good reminder to pick it up and finish it.

i love how how a dusting of snow turns this region into a declared disaster zone.  stock up on canned good and bottled water... while you still can.  whatever you do, don't drive faster than 12 mph.

I love how a dusting of snow brings out the hackneyed comments about how people in DC can't handle a dusting of snow.

First off, the roads are horrendous. I don't understand how there's maybe 2 inches of snow on the ground and people are sliding everywhere. We're leaving work early though, my manager has a Suburban and she was all over the road.

Snow!
