One of the street trees in front of our house died in the drought this summer, and the city cut it down a couple weeks ago. This morning they ground out the stump, using a piece of equipment about as different from a paint brush as you can get.
I think I’ve only had one advent calendar in my life — I was probably about 10 — so I decided to treat myself this year. I think I will enjoy these beers more than I did the trinkets and stale chocolate.
