Tumbleweeds must have a home...

Just like all of us, tumbleweeds must have a home right? I mean, where are they going when they blast out in front of you in the middle of a wind storm? They're headed home. That's right, tumbleweeds have a home too. Do you know where it is? If you were to ask me, I'd say it's somewhere between hops, barley, water and yeast. Yea, they're looking for beer. Or bread. I'd tend to think it was beer tho. Them damn tumbleweeds are smart. They know where to go to get the goods. At least they are always crossing my path on the way to the pub. They seem to have a radar for good beer. I give the tumbleweed props for that. So here's your lesson for the day: If a tumbleweed crosses your path, assume it's on its way to find a good beer and you are more than welcome to follow it.
Velveta aside, here's your Tech Tales #3
Twitter and the stain it leaves on your shoe

Twitter. A social networking tool that can get you into more trouble than you want to imagine. If that wasn't enough, I can elaborate more on the subject if anyone desires, otherwise I'll let that dead horse lie. There are you Tech Tales for the week.

I have always been a big fan of beer and to hear that a local brewery has come out with something called Tri-Cerrahops, I was intrigued. When I heard they came out with a triple(fresh)-hopped  gem known as Hop-po patamus, I was enthralled. Yea, I'm a hop-head and love my beers (ales for you snobs) with more hops than you can fit in the bottle. The kind of brews that bite back a bit and settle down when you show them you are the boss. Get the picture? Great!
10 hours ago I was sitting in computer class trying to figure out how to pass my Ecology quiz when it dawned on me...Think about beer. I dont usually let my mind wonder into the beerscape while I'm educationally learnin' myself but today had a call I had to answer. It was hops. While all of America and parts of Europe celebrate the Octoberfest season, I was subconsciously celebrating hops season in the NW. Call it my own little "Harvest Festival." I guess what I'm saying it that: "All of you thinking about pumpkins and cornucopias, think about the effect that the NW has on the beer industry this time of year. It's more awesome than Alaskan King crab, Louisiana crawdads, and Maine lobsters combined." So next time you go shopping for your favorite brew, think NW first and you too will be treated to a wonderful ride down the taste-bud highway. Props to NW hops and good old fashion beer.

OK, was that beer commercial better than any of those cookie-cutter mega-brewery spots?

Enough for now. Enjoy a brew and check back soon for a topic that will turn the world on its' rear...or is its ear? Either way something is gonna get turned upside-down.
