Yes, in Dallas of all places. Part of this R&R involves setting up a clothes line, which is braggably Old Skool, and energizing a new cordless lawnmower, which is dismayingly Nu Skool. Onerous yard chores done, I ambled over to the "pub" and ordered a "Guinness."
Guess what, the Guinness was weak and cost 8 bucks. Welcome to the New World Order, my friends. Still, it made a change, so there is that. Next step? Read some sci-fi short stories, if they're rubbish they're at least short, and then? Grill chicken thighs. 40 minutes of indirect heat seems to do the trick.
Cheers,

Go with the Black and Tan next time.
Watered Guiness should be a crime, and probably is in Ireland.
By co-inky-dink, this came across the emails this afternoon:
After the Great Britain Beer Festival in London, all the brewery presidents decided to grab a drink together.
The president of Corona sits down and says, “Señor, I’ll have the finest beer in the world—a Corona.” The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and hands it to him.
The Budweiser president follows, saying, “I’ll take ‘The King of Beers’—a Budweiser.” The bartender serves him one.
The Coors president nods and says, “Give me the only beer brewed with pure Rocky Mountain spring water—a Coors.” He gets his drink.
Then the Guinness president sits down and casually says, “I’ll have a Coke.”
The bartender raises an eyebrow but hands him the soda. The other brewery presidents turn to him, confused.
“Why aren’t you drinking a Guinness?” they ask.
He smirks and replies, “Well, I figured if you guys aren’t drinking beer, I won’t either.”
Totally with you, LL.
Nice one, Wild. I read somewhere that Guinness has the same alch content as Bud Lite. Huh.
I have a confession to make Parson: I do not like Guinness. I'll drink it if it's offered but I'm a lager man (Pilsners specifically). Though I do like a good IPA. And yes, the Guinness in Dublin was much better than the "Guinness" they sell here in the US of A.
Grill those thighs 5 minutes each side then finish.
