Okay Class, today we are going to study a little bit of math and engineering.

How many cans of 16 oz Bud Light does it take to build a 747?

This is NOT a 747 by the way.

For the answer, let’s turn to one of Peterson’s biggest fans, our friend Dave from the U.K. who miraculously figured out the answer to this question and shared it with me in a recent email.

HA HA HA !!!! — BRILLIANT !!!!

So here you have it folks!

Thank you Dave for making my day with your awesome sense of humor!

A very talented group of singers a.k.a foolmoon have put together this nicely done Christmas Carol video below. Happy Holidays Everybody!!!

(Update)

And since your doorbell may get more of a workout due to the Christmas Carolers,  you may want to consider having the sound of your doorbell changed to something more interesting, like in the video below.

In an attempt to reduce the number of people that drink beer in public places, the city’s Office of Neighborhood Involvement is requesting that businesses within the downtown core (see map below) that sell beer, voluntarily stop selling said beer that is higher than 5.75% alcohol, single containers of beer more than 22 oz., multiple alcoholic beverages larger than 12 oz., and boxed wine.

Here at Peterson’s, we DON’T sell 40 oz. beer, Malt Liquor, etc.  We already take great measures to curb ‘Street Drinking’.  As for me personally, the occasions I do witness someone ‘Street Drinking’, it is usually a 40 Ounce Beer someone is tossing back and NOT a Microbrew.

Watch the following video from KATU reporting on this story if you want to know more. (possible short commercial intro.) Or read it HERE from their website.

We feel the objective of discouraging street drinking is obviously good but that the proposed rules as written will affect items that are not part of the problem. The craft Microbrews are Oregon and Washington products and support jobs here in the Northwest.

And in an economy such as the one we are in the midst of,  jobs are precious indeed.

How popular are Microbrews here in the N.W. you ask? Check out this map below from Wikipedia. (emphesis in red by me).
