And Also, Speaking Of Beer--

Let us join in a moment of silence for Mr. Jim's Cannon Brewpub of Mobile, Alabama - a fallen comrade, a Mercy Ships legend gone sadly silent - the tragic victim of unpaid electric bills. A whole lot of unpaid electric bills, from the sound of it. But that's not the worst part. From the Mobile Register, 9 Feb:

About 1,800 gallons of beer, worth $80,000, sitting in the pub's tanks has probably spoiled, Haywood said. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives will have to oversee its disposal, which won't be down a drain.

"The sewage system won't be able to handle it,'" Haywood said.

And free wireless, too.

Sigh.
