My New Goal
Posted by TFG on August 8th, 2007
…to be a morning person.
I got up at 4am to make the 10am meeting in Dullass. By 2pm, I was so tired and loopy and cranky, it wasn’t even funny.
Beer recommendation: Shiner 98 Bavarian Style Amber. Very hearty, very tasty, pretty hoppy, not sweet like most beers. Tired of sweet here. I’m sweet enough…why would I want more?
PS I’m two whole blocks off the interstate in a Super 8. Actually, not bad at all for a cheap motel. Slow internet tubes, though…they probably can’t afford to unclog them. Herself is not at all happy with my choice, but since I’m paying, I choose. I’m kind of getting a growing fondness for these cheap, outdoor-doors motels. I could afford a fancier joint, but why bother? I sleep, I shower, I go out in the morning to hunt and gather, I start over. Plus, I’m Scottish.

Morning person, huh? At 4am I’m still at least a couple of hours away from my bedtime, and at 2pm I’m usually prying my eyes open and thinking about rolling out of the sack. Heh.
That having been said, your choice of libation is excellent (Shiner Amber chases down tequila shots just fine *smile*) and, truth be told, Super 8s are a damned good choice for on the road bedding down. You’ve got your own pistolas or short barreled 12-guage for security and ready access to the outside door if ya’ need to make a quick get-away. I’ll trust a Super8 and quick access to my own guns and wheels over a Westin or a Hilton any old day.

Now we are Dullas? The city of your youth? How have we wronged you? We know all of the problems but never dull.

I’ve been calling it that for 10 years, Holmes. No disrespect intended.

Comfort Suites is a good one, too. Although the doors are inside.

I bet it was too.

Nothing wrong with national-chain cheapo motels. I recently stayed in a cheapo locally-owned motel that looked like a Super 8, and, well, I don’t think any maintenance had been done since the first Bush administration-that is, George Herbert Walker Bush-it worked well enough, but looked like something out of the third-world, down to the patrons thereof.
I’ll have to try that particular Shiner spinoff at some point, but I don’t think we can get it up here in the frozen tundra of SWMO (actually, it’s currently 96 degrees and *humid*), but I did recently find plain ol’ Shiner Bock at the CVS Pharmacy/Liquor Sto’ for $4.29/six-pack, which is cheap for around here-cheaper than Bud, and far tastier, to boot.
Say, I know a deal whereby you can get a free Front Sight pistol-training course in Vegas for 4 days for running their ads on your blog. Let me know if you’re interested and I’ll forward you the information.

Vegas and pistols? What could possibly go wrong?
Heck yeah I want to know how to get in on that.
