The Ultimate Beer Run in the Czech Republic - New York Times

It puts a smile on my face to read travel articles about places that I've been - especially when the article confirms my experience or impressions.

I was in Prague and Pilsen about 6 weeks ago, and toured the Pilsner Urquell brewery mentioned in the article. Also, as luck would have it (I swear I didn't plan this), my hotel in Prague was a part of the Staropramen brewery.

I tried to take a tour of this brewery as well, but alas, tours weren't conducted in English on the day that I tried to attend.

Uncommon Man's Creed

"I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon -- if I can. I seek opportunity -- not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I wish to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole, I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence, nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master, nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid, to think and act for myself, to enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, "this I have done." All this is what it means to be an American." -- Anonymous
