Brotherbrown gets "Tea Bagged"

Tax Day, Thursday, April 15, 2010. As is my custom whenever I owe uncle sam (like, every year) I went to the Redlands, CA post office near midnight to drop off my mail. I was not alone.








There were even two local tea party members issuing Tea Bags.





And this is my tea bag.

Brother Thelonious belgian style abbey ale

This has got to be the coolest bottle of beer I have ever seen, and I hope the beer lives up to the bottle. This is a 25 ouncer, and I'll let you know later how it tastes.

Stormy Week, Part 2

The season of El Nino is upon us. The only time it is not unusual to have a full week of rain is during the El Nino, a condition of a massive body of warm water in the pacific that diverts storms normally headed to the pacific northwest to the California coast. It happens every dozen years or so, and California desperately needs the water whenever it appears.



After five days of rain, Mount San Antonio, also known as Mt. Baldy, wears a blanket of snow.

Stormy Week

It's rare in Southern California, but it has been storming since Monday, and as I post this, North Fontana is in the midst of a hail storm.

So, Albert King, Stormy Monday.

Teddy Pendergrass, 1950-2010

Motown Soul

When you believe in things you don't understand, then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way.



If anyone should ever right my life story...
