Horses; Steel VS Real

A few more pics from our trip;

Better get that horse moving! We're coming up hard beside you and we're hungry! (Just kidding, we single-filed it and idled by as quietly as we could)...

A cool sight; We had been directly behind these folks and as we were coming up on them, their carriage blocked view of the horse. I could just make out the bottom of it's hooves as they briefly popped into view below the undercarriage, and they were popping down in opposite pairs (front left + rear right, then front right + rear left, then back again). It almost looked like sets of pistons firing - which in essence, they were.

Here's a few more pics from the Yuengling Brewery, courtesy of Zig...

Up close and personal with the filler machine. With my trusty mug at the ready, I stood poised to yank a bottle out and hoist said mug up to one of these blue spigots of life...but a stern look from the tour guide (combined with the threat of losing my sampling privileges) prevented my plan from coming to fruition...

Here's a better shot of the bottles being flipped back upright again, after being sterilized inside the machine...

At first glance, this guy appears to have the best job in the world (surrounded by beer!)...but upon further reflection; he can't have any of it...which equates to the utmost in cruelty. Can you imagine being that close to all that wonderfulness, yet you're unable to have any of it? (Well, not while the tour group is present, anyways!)...

Out at the sports bar; Ed and the giant pizza! Have no fear of Ed, Mr. Pizza. You're destined to spend the rest of the weekend; forgotten in the cabin. (Do you guys smell something?)...

Flex holding court in the middle of Centralia. Yep; this was once the epicenter of an active and energetic township...

Only other thing going on is I'm still waiting on the other missing fork. Called the dealership this morning and it still hadn't been delivered. But the UPS guy apparently had a jimmy-jammed-full truck and wasn't able to access everything addressed to the dealership, so I gotta call back later, after the UPS guy has come back.

And dat's gonna do it for now. So until next post (say it with me)...
