Water isn't blue either which makes that statement even funnier.

Alaska is also has the western most, and eastern most points in North America.

Last shots of the civil war were fired in Ak.

There are over 3,000 rivers and 3 million lakes in Alaska.

Yakutat, Sitka and Juneau are the three largest (by area) cities in the US. Over half of Juneau is a permanent ice field which is larger than Rhode Island.

Over half the worlds glaciers are in Alaska.

Japan occupied ALaskan territory during WWII, and bombed Dutch Harbor

If you put any slight thought into that, it's clearly delusional bullshite. Why would the sky be blue in Bismark North Dakota, Mongolia, or the southern Sahara? The closest ocean is 1500 plus miles away. How would that work.

Several sites advise stay away from any beer with barley but consensus indicates Bud, made with rice, contains just trace amounts

And just in case you want your mind blown:

Dolphins descended from the same land animal that wolves did. They still have completely useless toe bones in their flippers.

In San Diego there's a beer convention going on. I talked with a distributor for an hour and a half last night.

Interesting facts:

The Kennedy's get a royalty on every single oz of scotch that is sold in the US. Pennies in the dollar but still sizable.

A shot of Louis XII cost $200. He said it was amazing but nowhere near worth $200 but said he'd pay about $100.


Budweiser is majority owned by a Brazillian company. Coors-Miller is owned by South Africans. Yeungling is now the largest American owned brewery.

Delivering pizza is more dangerous than firefighting.


No. When taken as a group, driver/sales workers and truck drivers annually come in around #8 with firefighters coming in somewhere between 10 - 15 but pizza delivery drivers as an individual class make up a very, very small part of that group.
