Beerfest!


JP bought me a VIP ticket to the Lincoln Beerfest at Haymarket Park (home of the Saltdogs). C & B and I went and tasted from a selection of 100 beers from 25 brewers. On paper, it sounded like the perfect afternoon. However, there is only so much craft-brewed beer one can take in a jungle climate. All of the brews were heavy, hoppy, and perfect for a cool fall afternoon in, say, October. None were appropriate for staying cool on a steamy July afternoon. 

This gives us one of the most important axioms of engineering:
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they aren't.


After Beerfest, JP and the boys showed up and we watched the Saltdogs baseball game.
