Does reading that article make me a voyeur of a voyeur?

I think it makes you a voyeur of a sex addict.

Some guy in Denver bought a hotel and rigged up some vents so he could peek on this guests (with his wife's help). He observed guests for fifty years and kept a detailed journal. Yowza.

He was helped in his act by two wives. I'll go out on a limb and say that the guy isn't going to have the outcome he'd hoped for with the publication of this article and subsequent publication of the book.

Great find, thanks. I enjoy Tom Wolfe. He's kind of a modern Dickens.

I still have A Man in Full sitting on my desk in my to read pile. Need to get to that someday.

I've alluded to this article from Michael Lewis on Tom Wolfe before, but I thought it was quite interesting. I think both guys see the really big picture better than just everyone else.

Thanks for the link, which I'll read later this evening. Those are two of my favorite contemporary writers.

I found this article strangely fascinating.

My mom loved bridge. I remember her reading about strategy, in the Sunday paper every week. Thanks for sharing, that was a good read.

Nice that you are comfortable embracing the hipster persona.

I'm no hipster, but the hipsters are right about beer. Got to give credit where it is due.

I do think Utah's vibrant craft brewing scene is a sign of ingenuity and entrepreneurship. The distribution into this state sucks ass. The stupidity of storing beer at room temperature, and even worse in a hot warehouse, degrades the quality. So in response some really fantastic breweries have popped up with bottle shops that sell the stuff cold.

Yes, the growth of these places did help save some cities in our fine state.

For all the mocking I get for my love of craft beer.

Rejoice people in Orem/Provo, you may soon qualify as a city on the way back, because you have 2 craft breweries set to open this year.

11. They have craft breweries. One final marker, perhaps the most reliable: A city on the way back will have one or more craft breweries, and probably some small distilleries too. Until 2012, that would have been an unfair test for Mississippi, which effectively outlawed craft beers by setting maximum alcohol levels at 5 percent. Now that law has changed, and Mississippi has 10 craft breweries. Once-restrictive Utah has even more. A town that has craft breweries also has a certain kind of entrepreneur, and a critical mass of mainly young (except for me) customers. You may think I’m joking, but just try to find an exception.
