My plans yesterday: Greektown Casino in Detroit with my brother, crash in Greektown, get up at 6:00 a.m. and be in Kalamazoo by 9:00 a.m. Friday. My day yesterday: Four Winds Casino in New Buffalo with my Dad, drinking club for a night cap, get up at 6:30 a.m. to get kids ready for school and be in Kalamazoo by 9:00 a.m. I was awfully disappointed when my trip to Detroit fell through, but it was good to spend the afternoon with my Dad drinking beer and playing video poker. I lost only $55 over 2-and-a-half hours, so I can't complain too much.
Today's Brews You Can Use? I found a couple:
Very sad: "Wild elephants' taste for rice beer, which has often led to villages where the beer is produced being destroyed, took a sad turn when six of the Asiatic elephants were electrocuted as they went berserk after drinking the beer in India's remote northeast, a wildlife official said." They apparently had the munchies: "The 40-strong herd uprooted an electric pole while looking desperately for food on Friday . . ." Very believable. I've been in those hungry elephants's shoes.

Another sad story: Sad that such a thing needed official approval: "The New Ulm, Minn., city council has approved a measure giving volunteer firefighters the option of consuming alcohol at fire station buildings after fire calls or other related functions."
