A Case of and for Beer
Beer is not a beverage for everyone, and certainly not for all ages.
Its taste, while variable between brands, is an acquired one.

Facing New Developments
Many of us have memories about tracts of land encountered over the years. They looked natural, bucolic, perhaps even dreamy – largely because they were undeveloped.
