West Coast supermarket Raley's is stepping up by getting into the single beer sales

The future of beer sales, singles!
I'm not thinking that this will compete with the 50 meter long single beer sales of Total Wine but now I can get nice selection in one 6-pack right next to the house.  Good Job Raley's!.

Hops for the home brew are coming along but a little small

Hops in the garden

Our 1st home is a disaster

Krissy and I bought this home in 1990 and sold it in 2001. We bought this house brand spanking new and sold it in great condition. Now, some 12 years later, the house and fence are falling down. The whole neighborhood is just shit.  We are so glad that we moved and now pay an association fee.

Look closely and notice the Christmas lights in July and the falling down fence.  I built that fence so I know how it should look. 

I love this bridge in my neighborhood

Reminiscent of bridge work in highways in the Sierra 's 

United States Independence Day celebration

I would like to thank my hosts for this July 4th celebration Bill De Carbonel and his wife for inviting my into his home for this touch of hometown Independence day.
