The Cossitt Library isn’t open on Sunday, so I made alternate wi-Fi arrangements to bring you this post… the Flying Saucer!!! Christina is still behind the bar on Sundays and she plugged my MacBook in. Drinking a Meddlesome She Devil. All local drafts except Wiseacre Astronaut Status are $5 on Sundays.
I learned a SAUCER SECRET today. If they take a beer off the menu and then put it back on the menu at a later time, you can get the beer counted twice toward the 200 beers for your plate on the wall. (Computer nerd time: I’m guessing that’s because the re-listed beer has a different primary key in the database.)
(By the way, thanks to Dr. Chip Ordman who first taught me about primary keys 32 years ago.)
The She Devil is beer number 173 toward my 9th plate.
