Inside the Pallet House The Pallet House

Life has a way of coming at us all fast, and even when we know it is coming we are still shocked.  Like taking a Zoom court appearance for a suspended license from your car, when you figure out what is happening it is often too late. 

Showing up to gun fight with a knife is known to be a bad idea. Showing up in the same Costco pants as everyone else can be just as awkward though.  I guess they are both better than showing up to a Porsche meet in a Miata. 

Art is subjective that is for sure, but some art is universally accepted as pretty cool.  It should also be known that human nature means we will always play to the lowest common denominator.  When the two meet we should not be surprised at the results.  As primal as a snake chasing a mouse, we will do something stupid if you keep giving us the chance. 

First world problems involve bad games of golf, and busted up cars.  We spend a lot of time focused on the small things.  We can also be reminded that there are much bigger issues for us to be concerned about.  This week that comes into focus. 

Nancy Reagan taught us that the patriotic thing was to just say No. This week we saw some unlikely heroes do something patriotic, and we sent all of our money in the name of them saying Yes.

The day is finally here.  We are putting Guinness and Murphy's Irish Stout head to head in a blind taste test.  There has been a lot of talk about whether or not Guinness is merely a marketing engine that has pushed the other stouts out of the way, or if it really is the best beer in the world. Today we will find out.
