Go To Rio Salado Brewing Company!

I met up with some chums at Rio Salado last night for conversation and some great microbrews. We had a great time catching up but I heard a disturbing rumor...that Rio Salado may close. Nothing official, mind you, but it's a scary thought.

If you've been to Rio Salado, then you know it's a great place to kick back, have some of the aforementioned brews and relax. It's a comfortable place - not too fancy and far from a dive. I've spent many evenings there with friends and I would be very sorry to see it go.

If you've never been, then get your butt over there. You'll find great beer and a friendly group of strangers at the bar or you and your homies can grab a table of your own.

Rio Salado Brewing Company is at 1520 W Mineral Rd, Tempe AZ 85283 (near I-10 and Elliot). It's tucked away in a industrial area so I suggest mapping it before you go so you know exactly where to go.

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N

This Is How Fat Thinks

I was in Vegas over the weekend and Thursday night found me sitting at the bar in Margaritaville with some friends. We were having some drinks, talking to strangers and watching both the baseball and football games. All was well with the world. Out of nowhere, a young (20s?) guy came up behind me and snapped a selfie with me in it. He moved away before I could even get out "What was that about?" Less than 30 seconds later, another young guy came up and did the same. He also bounded away before I could stop him. My very first thought was that they were doing a photo scavenger hunt and one of the items was a picture with the fattest woman they found. Hell, could even have been the fattest person they saw if I let my mind take it further. Now, assuming a scavenger hunt, there are other reasons they could have wanted a picture of me. Maybe they needed a ginger, maybe it was someone with their hair in braids, maybe it was someone in the brightest colored shirt they could fin
