But I do love his deadpan sense of humour. Nobody else that I know of is taking pictures of this place that feel so honest.<br /><br />The words here are from the street, where logic takes on a life of its own and history is remade in the moment.<br /><br />About pigs, oy. I've been looking into the "pig production" business, for a while now. And oh -- you don't want to know.TChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05915822857461178942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445844569294316288.post-18802997047239378102013-11-28T04:33:35.046-08:002013-11-28T04:33:35.046-08:00I think you and efo should make a book together. ...I think you and efo should make a book together. The collaborations are terrific and, to my sensibilities, profound. On a lighter note than this, I quickly consulted the Wikipedia beer entry, which is quite good -- well organized, informative, succinct. I didn't find anything in there about pigs giving beer to men (although I have no doubt they would do so if they had opposable thumbs, etc.; you;ll recall what Churchill said about pigs), but it did raise my spirits to rediscover some of the history and lore. I did some work about a year ago for a local "microbrewery" in Philly called Yards, who make excellent beers and ales. Getting to know the owners and staff, I was given a full brewery tour, which was great and shown the used up grain, which they donate to local pigs, who apparently like Yards feed a lot. Unfortunately, I know where this story goes and that the animals are probably not being raised as pets. CurtisACravanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315707533118640284noreply@blogger.com
