Still Wired and October Beer

I thought my telephone wire distraction had passed.  The other day, however, when I passed John's bedroom and noticed his bed was made (!), I also noticed how the duvet cover I'd made him reminded me of this telephone wire pic.  When I first made the duvet, I had train tracks in mind as John is nuts about trains - and I still think the fabric combo calls to mind creosote soden ties, blackened iron tracks and blue, blue sky.  But telephone wires, hanging against a blue, blue sky, create similar imagery.

Our October Minnesota-Beer-of-the-Month is Sweet Child of Vine India Pale Ale from Fulton Beer in Minneapolis.  Grateful to have been helped in their entrepreneurial pursuit, the guys at Fulton Beer will put 10% of their profits into a fund (Ful10) which, when grown large enough, will be loaned to other entrepeneurs who are unable to borrow funds traditionally.  Cool.
