Isn't that the beer that was brewed in such a way as to make transport to colonies in India possible?

I live in Missoula, just a few hours from Big Sky. How's the snow down there?<BR/><BR/>I see that you are well supplied with some of Stephane's tea.

I laughed at the title you put on this entry, as I just came from reading an article pointing out that a full 1% of the population of our fair nation is incarcerated, a higher number than at any other time in history. Never been to Big Sky. Google earth shows it to be a ski area with pit mines off to the west, but I'm sure the conference will keep you away from anything speakfreelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13757071341180546490noreply@blogger.com
