A Catholic pilgrim decided to tour Europe. He went to Rome, and in the Vatican he saw a very odd thing: a pay phone with a sign “Talk to God, €200.” He didn’t have 200 Euro on him, so he moved on.
A week later, he was outside Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. Looking over the scene of the reconstruction, he noticed again: an old pay phone in the garden behind the Cathedral with a sign “Talk to God, €200.” He had even less money by this point, so he moved on.
That Sunday, he was in Dublin and he walked by St. Patrick’s Cathedral. He went in, and saw a telephone in the vestibule with a sign: “Talk to God, €1.”
A priest was walking by, and the pilgrim stopped him. “Excuse me, Father,” asked the pilgrim, “all over Europe I have seen these phones but it cost two hundred Euro to talk to God. Here, it is only one Euro. Why is that, Father?”
“Well, my boy,” responded the priest, “it’s a local call from here!”
"That young man has an extra step on his ladder the rest of us just don't have."
Don’t care for the title, had to share as I likely drank way more than my fair share of Olympia (“It’s the water!”) while at Duke.

When you go for a stupid hot run, aka (Hey) Stupid, (it’s too) Hot (to) Run, New Belgium Mural Aqua Fresca hits the spot.
The original (watermelon lime hibiscus). Still haven’t tasted the two new ones.
Cheers!
(Fullsteam) Shenanigans aside, I set up a zoom for the virtual pub for 5pm ET tomorrow (7/11).

The password, in honour of the theme, is the almost ACC school that Duke beat in 2010 for the lacrosse championship.
The password is one phrase even though the school has a two part name.
The N and the D are capitalized.
Hopefully that’s enough clues for the password. 😁

Always worth another post for the #15 beeradvocate DIPA (or is it a TIPA?). Juicy, bitter (100 IBUs), dank and potent (10% ABV). Worth a 4 pack if you're ever in Ohio.

Part of the Aberdeen eclectic 8 (no pun intended; ok, I lied). Been a long time since drinking one of these. Good coffee flavors. Not too high gravity. A “summer” stout? Maybe. Solid Cat 2.
