Lite Beer Rant
I don't like Light Beer.
It's not that it tastes like water, which it does. It's not because it has fewer calories. Who cares!
I don't believe in the concept of Light Beer. Life is too short to drink Light Beer. I'm sure that bromide is on a shirt somewhere. If it isn't, it should be.
We are currently in the midst of the NCAA College Basketball Tournament, and with it comes many funny commercials on TV.
Bud Light is making great hay with their popular "Dilly Dilly" series of commercials. They are set in medieval times based around a kingdom and king that loves Bud Light.
Their current campaign touts that Bud is made with only four ingredients: barley, hops, water, and rice. They seem to be proud of it.
I have always known this and is why I rail at people that drink Bud. It says it right on their label. Don't people want to drink something with some flavor in it?
My question is, who makes beer out of rice? Big mindless conglomerates that don't care about flavor, that's who!
Please tell me what flavor rice brings to beer. It's a filler! All it does is take the place of otherwise flavorful barley to make the beer cheaper to brew.
I'm upset and passionate about this because Bud Light is the number one selling beer in the country. I don't like the thought that I live in a country where people get dinner at McDonald's and wash it down with Bud Light.
We do not seem to be a very discerning people. This is another sign that this country has its best days in the rear view mirror.

Texting Guy
Spring is almost here and the snow is melting away. But our yard still looks pretty wintery. We still have a good 12 inches of snow and I think it will be around for a while due to the house blocking the sun from hitting the front yard.
I recently learned that my texting life essentially began on December 29th, 2016 at 6:25PM. That's when I sent a text to Mark, who has never deleted any of his texts to anyone he has ever texted.
I pretty much despise texting. I don't like to do it because it seems it is so much easier to contact the person by phone and get the same information much more quickly. But, it is the wave of the future and you just can't communicate with some people any other way these days.
And so, I am...relunctantly...Texting Guy.
