Dubbed "I thought this beer was named Warren" (helles bock beer) The microbrewery's double-sided menu of drinks this month includes several with long phrases as the beer name. Most follow the one or two word custom of naming, though. The brief description of this malty drink gives ABV (alcohol by volume) of 6.6% and IBU (international bitterness units) of 25. For tipplers who navigate the page of adjectives and numerical data in search of genre or category, though, this one includes "helles bock" in parentheses. Whereas pilsner is light and fizz-filled, this one is heavier, sweeter, and darker in color. Fizz is a secondary consideration. The public house ("pub") in the British Isles is a public-private sort of institution: open to all, but privately owned or leased. The resulting mix of personalities and thirsty customers can offer a healthy variety of opinions and life-experiences. As such, it can be an incubator of civil society. Different to the caffeinated atmosphere of coffee houses, the boozy customers may nurse a mild sedated mood or dive deep into sleepiness. Nevertheless, it is a "destination" and a landmark on the social landscape. By comparison the bar, saloon, tavern, or other form of drinking hole in the USA tends to have less "ownership" in the minds of customers. However, some mingling of opinions and hatching of ideas does take place here, too. So both institutions - east and west Atlantic - sometimes foster the elements of civil society; third places that are neither home nor work.

Wide views before branches fill with new leaves The days between snowmelt and leaves appearing is when the forest shows long views unobstructed by green and shadows. Days like today let the light fill the forest floor and the eye can wander freely far and wide, too. This panorama shows the electrical lines right-of-way that cuts across part of the Blandford Nature Center lands with a stream running through to the left in the lowest part of the small ravines.

Potatoes in many colors and characteristics These days it is not uncommon to see heirloom and other kinds of potatoes than ones for baking or mashing or deep-frying. Red, orange, yellow, or purple add color and variety to the menu. From the wild forms of tuber in South America and the many domesticated specialty types created by Inka growers in the past and present, the vegetable have come a long way - a favorite food on all continents and maybe even on the international Space Station, too.

Environmentally verified fenced vegetable field The 10' fencing seems to be effective at keeping deer and other would-be vegetable poachers from pilfering produce at the small farm on the grounds of Blandford Nature Center and the city school operated on these grounds, too.
