Barrel Theory in St Paul is a really solid brewery, fantastic IPAs. The few beers I've had from Falling Knife have been pretty good as well.

Thanks, we might just stick to Thirsty Growler, let’s me try a lot of different things we can’t get up here in SD.

Thanks. That was one of the places I had on my list. Might need to try Tupps or Union Bear as well.

Coming down for the FCS Championship in Frisco the first weekend of January. We are staying at the Hyatt in The Colony. Any good breweries in that area or Frisco?

That's not a yellow? Sure...

Remember all the Republicans accusing Democrats of grooming? Turns out, a Republican running for the South Dakota senate is being charged with grooming a minor. I believe he was accusing people of grooming on his now deleted Twitter account a few days before this dropped. Every accusation is a confession. https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/south-dakota-senate-candidate-accused-of-child-abuse/?fbclid=IwAR16ys9cv4MS2fWBVNjCjjzmG1HRAk81oD75HPHOYXD5iExzRNpq6hCSjAI

She did! She posted a whole video about it a month and a half ago or so ago and said she won’t be able to campaign or debate because of it. Didn’t stop her from flying to Arizona for an event with Kari Lake a few weeks ago or to Florida for a $5,000 plate event last Friday. This campaign event is part of her hammering that she will work to end the tax in food if she is re-elected. Never mind the fact that the few Democrats in South Dakota, including her challenger, have been pushing that for 20 years. They had a bill that passed the House this last session and she called on her attack dogs to kill it in the senate. She voted against it every time it came up when she was in the SD legislature. And her lap dog campaign communications director, who used to work for Gym fucking Jordan, said she has always wanted to end the food tax. They are just straight lying to the people of South Dakota and it’s probably going to work. If she gets re-elected, we won’t hear about the food tax ever again.

South Dakota, but yeah, she sucks. I think she’s starting to get worried a bit. All her ads are comparing her opponent, Jamie Smith, to Biden. She can’t run on anything she’s done the last 4 years, because there isn’t anything. She recently came out and said if she was re-elected she will work to end the tax on food. Never mind the few Democrats that are in the SD Legislature have been trying to do that for years and she’s always opposed it. Always. A few hardcore Republicans I know absolutely hate her. I think she’s in legit trouble.

She'll find something to overturn it if she gets elected again. I'm holding out hope that with legalization and Noem being on the ballot, the youth vote will turn out, but I highly doubt it because we can't have nice things in this state.

And South Dakota. Again.

We just did a two week trip to London, Scotland and Ireland in April. The train to Edinburgh is the way to go. It's about a 4 hour trip on LNER.

I've seen her in person, trust me, you don't.

South Dakotan here. I do not believe he was driving drunk because he doesn't drink. The rest is true. He was distracted while driving, hit a guy, drove with him on his hood for like 7 seconds and somehow still thought it was a deer. All 4 tires were over the rumble strip. The guy he hit was carrying a flashlight and he claimed he didn't see it. His story changed a number of times from "I wasn't on my phone" to "I was reading news headlines right before". He has a history of speeding while driving and every time he got pulled over since he's been in office he always drops the "I'm the Attorney General" line. The thing that sucked is Noem was pushing for him to be removed and I never want to agree with her on anything. And of course she goes and takes a victory lap tweet after he was removed from office.

A healthy Buxton is so fun to watch. Also hit a game-tying 2 run bomb in the 7th.

You still need a negative test to get into the US.

While I haven’t been to the brewery, I’ve had a few beers from Falling Knife and they have all been really good.

Isn’t Tin Whiskers closed now or will be soon?

That's how it was in South Dakota as well until, well, Kristi Noem.

Fuck Kristi Noem. She’s a trash human being that doesn’t do shit for the state she supposedly governs. I fucking hate her.

Headed to the UK and Ireland in 6ish weeks. Already rented a car to drive through Ireland. Plan on hitting Giants Causeway, staying a few nights outside Limerick, driving the Dingle Peninsula and going to the Cliffs. Any recommendations in that area is greatly appreciated. Also spending a few days in Dublin.

So you aren't back the blue anymore?

My biggest thing with this festival is how are 60ish bands going to play on 3 stages in 1 day? Are they all going to play for like 20 minutes?
