Also @stanhieronymus.bsky.social @brewedculture.org - my original post included a small rant about how this is another example of the current US govt creating unnecessary problems for so many - which I deleted before posting. But I'm encouraged when anyone (like Siebel) respond proactively.

I call 'em like I see 'em.

I would humbly (or f**k it, not so humbly) suggest myself. But then I have to concede it might be moot given that my posts have been almost non-existent lately. I'll start up again soon, I promise.

You appear to be in the vicinity of the J. Leinenkugel's Barrel Yard. How is it? I haven't been there since it was a T.G.I.Fridays.

Stop by the First Key Consulting booth (4717). I’d love to meet.

Anything by John Gurda. But don’t just read his books, see if you can talk to him (though he doesn’t seem to be on social media). But he’s a Milwaukee treasure.

I can relate!
