Gone Fishing…

No Dispatch today because La Profesora and I took a brief holiday to…

… the windswept Oregon Coast. Last night we saw seals just a few yards off shore!

We also fulfilled a long-held beer dream of mine…

… stopping at de Garde Brewing in Tillamook. I adore sour beers, and de Garde makes fantastic, creative, sour wild ales. The one you see me drinking has chamomile (interesting). The purple one has berries (yum). The one in the different glass is a lovely unfiltered ale. The golden one closest to the camera is a sublime nectarine flavored sour (wow!).

I’ll be back next Sunday. Have a great day!

P.S. it’s hard to believe that it was only one week ago today that President Biden dropped out of the race and endorsed Vice President Harris. A week? It feels like months. In a recent episode of his Plain English podcast, Derek Thompson talked in detail about our current hyper accelerated news cycle—worth a listen.

That looks like fun Brad Berens, Ph.D. ! Marc and I have been sampling cask beers in the Cotswolds these last two weeks. Speckled Hen, the Big Dipper, the Bob, London Pride … so so good ??
