Old Timers With Fish
Old Timers With Fish, a photo by BelchSpeak on Flickr.
I love old photos of guys hanging out at saloons and taverns. I swiped this photo from a pub wall in San Carlo, CA using my genius scan app. It wasn’t until I really examined the photo that I realized that one dude is holding a pair of fish in one hand and a beer in the other.
So here’s to you, Mr. Take your fish to a bar. Well played, friend.

Japanese Prove Beer Staves Off Infections
Good news for those beer drinkers- an ingredient in hops may stave off bacteria that causes pneumonia and other illnesses according to a study by Sapporo, a beer maker in Japan.
From the DC here:
Consuming large quantities of a key ingredient in beer can protect against winter sniffles and even some serious illnesses in small children, a Japanese brewery said citing a scientific study.
A chemical compound in hops, the plant brewers use to give beer its bitter taste, provides an effective guard against a virus that can cause severe forms of pneumonia and bronchitis in youngsters, Sapporo Breweries said Wednesday.In research with scientists at Sapporo Medical University, the compound — humulone — was found to be effective in curbing the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus.
And I’m no doctor, but the women in this photo look VERY healthy to me.
