The mercury may be dropping outside, but we're chatting over warm drinks in this week's open thread.
Same drill as always, open-threaders: You can chat and ask questions with your fellow readers all week long at the #openthread hashtag page
Breckenridge's Christmas Ale got a mention - what's your favorite? The Sam Adam's Chocolate Bock sounded good to me!
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
Samuel Adams Winter Lager is good, Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome is better (same brand oatmeal stout isn't bad either), and Samichlaus is one of the best. Before you go out and buy up a bunch of Samichlaus, make a note of the alcohol content - 14% by volume, trust me a liter is more than enough at one sitting.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
Corruptissima re publica plurimae leges; When the Republic is at its most corrupt the laws are most numerous. - Publius Cornelius Tacitus
