Beyond hints of chocolate, barley, oats and whatever else, the bottom line is that there are better beers out there than Sam Adams and Blue Moon. Drinking better beer is neither elitist nor expensive, and it’s so much more satisfying. A six-pack of Anchor Porter will set you back just as much as a six of Sam (and, by extension, bottles of better beer in Loker should also cost the same if offered).

Some maintain that this “telos” was “Revolver,” others will swear to you that it was “Dark Side of the Moon.” We know better.

From ten to 20 shuttle trips would be needed just to ferry to the space station the pieces that would eventually be assembled into a Mars ship...
...civilian counterparts. He resented those who flew for the money and was riled by flyers he felt did not listen to an experienced country boy. Scott Crossfield "just knew it all, which is why he ran a Super Sabre through a hangar." Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon and "the last guy at Edwards to take any advice from a military pilot," ignores a warning and sticks his aircraft in mud. Yeager's comment on Richard Bong, a former fighter ace who died because he neglected to switch on a fuel pump: "Dick wasn't interested in homework...
