Capitol Capital whatever

What a frapped up word. Capitol, Capital. The Capitol sits on the capital grounds! The government is run in the capital which is in the Capitol. The building in which the legislature sits is in the capitol. The capital of Wisconsin in in the Capitol of Wisconsin. THAT is just messed up.

If you really look at both words now neither one looks spelled correctly.

Then I read "The two are not, in fact, interchangeable - while confusing the two is a common mistake, it is still incorrect.

geez - the internet is yelling at me!

While any sufficiently frequent misuse of language may eventually become accepted (I am trying my hardest), it still holds true that capitol refers to buildings and capital is for any other use.

Hey guys - I found the best way to have great hair.

Since I'm basically blind in the shower and DJ purchased all knew "stuff" I could not read one tube from the next so the first thing I tried that did not suds up at all on my hair was some sort of Body cleanser! Since that tube did not work I went on to the next which happened to be conditioner. hmmmmmm Only 1 left which, YEA, was shampoo.

BUT - I had a great hair day!! I don't think order matters! I'm just glad there was no exfoliate stuff! I'd be bald.

Let's move on to way way more important things.

This is a map of where all the McDonald are, just in case you were wondering. The question came up. What is the farthest you would ever have to drive to get to a McDonalds.


The answer is the tiny towns of Meadow (pop. 35) and Glad Valley (no info available) which are the the McFarthest Spots. 107 miles to the nearest McDonald’s, as the crow flies, and 145 miles by car to a McDonald's in Rapid City!

No Happy Meals for you!

Had brew club last night and it's a GO for the 2010 Homebrew Festival. The Pretty Good Taste of Sun Prairie. It will be held at the Lions Club between Sun Prairie and Columbus. Lost of free homebrew beer, lots of food and a band. We're hoping to raise about $4000. We're still looking into dates. It gets a little crowded late summer. I was thinking late February. Not many outdoor festivals that time of year.

Also - I'm teaching Homebrewing 101 at Cannery Wine and Spirits on October 25th. Sign up at their store. A tiny deposit is required I believe.

I'm brewing a Hefewiezen this weekend which is half barley malt and half wheat malt. The big thing is the yeast and it's all about what temperature you ferment the brew at. I'm hoping for 62 degrees but it'll be tricky. Typically I'm at about 67 degrees lately so the final drop in 5 degrees will be a little work but I have a plan.

I can wrap a wet towel around the carboy and put a fan on it. The evaporation I THINK will cool the 5 gallons 5 degrees.

For lack of anything better to say . . . . . .

Here is some bad luck. Two parents with 3 children all under 5 took a memory stick of photos to Wal-Mart. The Wal-Mart photo person found NAKED photos of children at bath time and called police. The police bust into their home and found video tapes of naked children frolicking on one tape.

The children were snatched up by Child Protective Services and the parents were charged with child pornography and put on a sex offender list. Lisa (parent) has been suspended from her job at a school for a year and she and her husband have spent $75,000 in legal fees the state has cleared them of all charges.

On the right is one of the damaging photos. So . . . . where is the innocent until proven guilty part??

Wal-Mart is being sued!

Have a great weekend.
