  When we made beer, we would send the tailings out into the river (the 
catfish were happy). NOW they bottle this pee and sell it as "lite or 
lyte" beer. I call it "near-beer". It's just another way for a brewery 
to sell something that ordinarily would go down the drain. This is why 
the "real" beers are GONE.

  Funny you should say that. I spent the morning transplanting trees, 
got thirsty and opened a bottle of Freixinet. Spent the rest of the day 
in the pool..BLASTED. While swimming around the bottom brushing down 
the quartzite, I almost drowned. Noticed the bottle was empty so I 
started another one. That was 6 P.M. when I passed out. Haven't done 
THAT in a couple years..Wheeeeew. Woke up just in time to watch the 
special on T.V. about Blue Note records.

  Do you take change? I have 2,034.50 in Canadian change (mostly 
quarters & dimes).
