"we can help make the world safe for diversity. for in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. we all breathe the same air. we all cherish our children's future. and we are all mortal." -jfk it was relevant in 1963. it's even more relevant in 2004.

you didn't miss anything. Sure I did. I missed the NNBM Bar, Pool Table, and patrons. Where's my glass? That big pint glass with the name "Cl@%%y" written on it with my Sharpie. (Those middle letters have worn off due to heavy use.) Speaking of large beer glasses... While the family and I were traveling through those twisty- turnie back country roads we came upon a tourist trap type of eatery where nothing has really changed since the 1970's. It was a road side BBQ place that had lots of picnic tables under a huge tent and had an area for kids to play on. There were a lot of touring bikers parked there and figured it might be a good place to get a burger and beer. In fact it turned out to be one of the best cheeseburgers I can remember eating. But better than the burger was this stuff made by the Lake Placid Brewery. It was a dark beer that just tasted perfect for a dark beer. (When I ordered it I didn't know it was a dark one. It just had a cool name so I chose it.) The cool thing about it was the beers came in two sizes. "Frosty Pint" or "Texas Mug". Well you know the one I chose, right? The Texas Mug was almost the size of a pitcher. (No not a water pitcher. More like Roger Clemons.) Oh man that was good. The kids and wife enjoyed it too. If I ever go back to Saranac Lake again I'll be looking for it again. The place was called the Tail o' The Pup. Sort of a stupid name. But good food. ...for a roadside joint. -Cl@%%y
