When They Were Young

Ummmmmmm?

I Think These Are Hops

So I planted some hops, and for awhile I was thinking it was a bust because I wasn't seeing anything. And I also dug up the rhizomes a couple times to check and see if anything was sprouting off of them and there never was. But then a couple weeks ago I noticed some growth in the area. I thought maybe it was a weed, but now I am thinking these are the hops because I haven't seen any other weeds like this in the yard. Do they look like hops to you? If they are, these hops would be of the Willamette variety.

UPDATE: Upon looking at other pictures of Willamette hops on the internet, I am thinking these in the video are not the same. The Willamettes on the internet all have pointy-ish tri-tipped leaves. Mine are more round. These may be the Tettnanger hops, and the Willamette may be on the other side of the yard. I cannot remember which I planted where. Or they could just be weeds and I may have no hops at all. Which would be sad.

UPDATE: I have been reluctant to repost because of my failure as a hops grower. Sadly, the alledged hops were really weeds. So I have no hops and I have the sadness.

Mike Watt and the Missingmen

I saw these guys at the Waiting Room in Omaha on May 16, 2009. They played these Wire covers (video below), which were awesome, as well as some old Minutemen stuff which was even more awesome!



(This video was not the Omaha show, but it was pretty much the same thing.)

Best Dunk So far This Year

Well, my posting for 2009 has been lack luster so far this year. So I am going to try and get my act together and update this on a regular basis. I figure I would start off by honoring the basketball season with the Best Dunk of the Year So Far !
