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.

Quick but interesting read on a woman who showed up at her own funeral. I think the most shocking thing was not that she was still alive but that

Spoiler for Shocker:

she has received backlash from Melbourne's Congolese population for turning in her husband. You know, the guy who admits he paid to have her killed.

Same here.

My wife is ahead of the evolution curve. She never had any.

Me either.
