First up, a bit of sad, yet expected news from the north. The Pajarito Summerfest, the annual beer festival on the mountain above Los Alamos that usually runs the first weekend of June, has been canceled due to the fire danger. Hopefully things will be clear for Ullr Fest in the fall, which is one of our favorite outdoor events.
Anyway, I’m gonna be on vacation again later this week, so please, no breaking news while I am gone. Just have a nice, peaceful, normal week.
We’re doomed, aren’t we? Sigh. Drink ’em if you got ’em.
