      Yeah, that's what it is. Negligible amount of calories and gluten free, so it's popular with the health nut Millennial brotato #gainz types.

        Ugh, the house buying process both sucks and blows.

        We visited three houses yesterday. The first one was barely within our price range, the second well within our price range, and the third also within our comfort zone, about halfway between the first two houses. The first house, while it had great potential, and I liked the location, my wife thinks it's too far out into "the sticks" (it's in Eagan, just north of Diffley Rd, basically one interstate exit north of LwB). The second house was the smallest of them, in great condition, and the owners were creative in making the most of the home's available space. The third house was amazing, and seemed too good to be true; the amazing features of the house, the square footage, and so on and so forth, but located very near Robert St. in West St. Paul. The house next door looked a little sketchy, but the house was so impressive that we were just overwhelmed with the opportunity. It was the clear favorite until we got home and did a search on crime report sites. My wife was still in favor of it until a few minutes ago, when she called the local PD to see if they could give any more info. Their reply to her was pretty much to stay clear of the house, and find another home in the city - the house next door has been that much of a nuisance for the police. Too good to be true was sadly too right. Ugh.

              Evening, Lodge.

              The one night I had something going on during the week, of course work went to hell. Got slammed, needed at main building. Well, never made it, b/c the UPS night pickup was full, had to call in backup, so waited an additional half-hour for another truck to come in. Had to cancel my after-work activity, rescheduled for tomorrow. This was the only the 2nd night in, I dunno, 3-4 months that I was needed at the main building/was held late. What are the odds? *sigh*
              Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                      I am fully aboard the White Claw train. No shame at all. I've found that to be the best tasting of the big name brands, there are some local breweries who also have solid ones though.

                      I don't think it's going to be strictly a fad, I think it will have staying power. There's actually reports of a national shortage happening now/recently with White Claw. I believe I saw something close to 300% growth in the past year or something.

                        358% I believe. Crazy.

                        I started on the White Claw train last fall for tailgating.. it hit a new level this summer on the pontoon. I love White Claw and will keep it in my repertoire.

                          I read that

                          I'm not much of a football fan anymore but this whole situation - and everyone's collective loss of sanity - is absolutely hilarious to me.

                              Good Evening, Lodge!

                                That is NOT the sticks. bbdl lives in the sticks. You have to go way further south to get into the sticks. I dare say just south of Prior Lake, just north of Coates, that kind of thing.
