Naw... I probably would if it weren't for those pesky helicopters that spend so much time flying the little hollow below my house each October

Instead, I find enjoyment in a close cousin. Hops. Specifically those in fine India Pale Ales. We have a microbrewer in Kansas City, "Bouldevard Brewing Co." that just started brewing a great, and I mean great, IPA. "Single Wide".

My favorite is brewed in Michigan at "Bell's Brewery". It's called "Two Hearted Ale". You get a few bottles of either, a jar of "Kelly's Killer Dillers" and a sunny day off, and you'll be livin' the good life



Indeed. Did you notice their slogan?

"The Natural State".

There are some things Ozarkers won't tell you. You have to figure it out on your own. If you have, and you bring it up to them, you'll find they are quite eager to share what they know.

Magic necklaces are like that. You see, Ozarkers know why city slickers don't value them, and why true "hillbillies" do. It's just "Natural".

It's getting to be the time of year here when everyone is thinking of getting on the water. Canoeing, Fishing, Swimming in the creeks soon, and later, in the lakes.

It's time to start wearing those necklaces...
