Guten Morgen, mein Lesefreund. Wie geht’s? Would you like to join me in a little jaunt down the yellow brick road of memory lane to a beer garden near you? Wunderbar! The topic of this week’s issue of our intellectually rewarding and stimulating blog / bulletin / thingee is a brewery. Grab yourself a stein of non alcoholic beer and some giant pretzels, and join me at a table in the shade. Once upon a time, between 1837 and 1840, in Waterloo, Canada West, the Western half of the Province of

A big hello, my reading friend, and welcome to the world of technology and science, space and aviation, and food and agriculture – and serial / Oxford / Harvard commas. (Hello, EP!) It is through the third dynamic duo of the sentence before the previous sentence that yours truly hopes to titillate your little gray cells on this day. Do you like potato chips? I have to admit that I have a thing for the junk food that potato chips are, a food high in calories, err, joules, with little nutritional

Do you like ice cream, my reading friend? Yours truly cannot say I am all that fond of that frozen dessert. I might have had ice cream thrice in the past 12 months. This being said (typed?), I know that a great many people truly / madly / deeply love ice cream but loathe with equal enthusiasm the joules and energetic fat it contains, and… Why the puzzled look, my reading friend? Do you not know that the unit of the International System of Units, which is the modern iteration of what is commonly

Hello there, my reading friend. Given that yours truly still had a lot of material on T.K. Bellis Turtle Company Limited of London, England, I thought best to put said that material in this second instalment. And here it is. Are you not joyous? I could easily have turned this project into a three-part article, you know… Humm, your show of joy is not exactly staggering but it will do. As yours truly hinted at in the first part of this article, by the early 1870s, Thomas Kerrison Bellis had come

I have never tasted turtle soup, my reading friend, and do not plan to. Ever. Such a sentence may seem like a strange introduction to this issue of our all encompassing blog / bulletin / thingee but there is method behind the madness. Speaking (typing?) of madness, you may wish to note that this article will deal before long with the greedy madness behind the monstrous evil known as the Atlantic slave trade, but we are not there yet. For a few decades now, sea turtles have been some of the most
