The latest Brian Wilson “Two and Only” – “Something Completely Different” podcast:
“In this week’s exciting adventure, the Two and Only discuss President Biden’s trip to Ireland, beer (of course), Farm subsidies, agriculture and chicken farming, Food Stamps and obesity and… witch hazel.”
Once again, Brian accused me of being from West Virginia. Proof that I need to trim the durn beard. I didn’t get a chance to compare the virtues of Bud Lite with Guinness.

The beard screams “West Virginia”…

Another great episode. Thanks. I lived in a hippie house, the Yellow Farmhouse, on Bluff Road outside of Vermillion, South Dakota from 1971-73. We did some farming using exotic seeds, but I can’t really talk about that. We didn’t make much money. The house had electricity but no septic or water, just a hand pump at the old 19th-century sink. A big porcelain beast of a wood stove and little propane heater in the kitchen for the -37F winter. We did have wood stoves, potbellies, in every room and we needed them.
It was fun, but farming is tough work.
I trust that your current abode has both indoor heating and indoor toilets.
Hi Jim, Yes. Finally, at the age of 67 I was able to have central heating and A/C installed in our old stucco bungalow here in Healdsburg, CA. I’m 71 now and we do have one toilet in a tiny bathroom with a working shower. It’s heaven.
I do miss South Dakota sometimes. Do you remember 3.2 beer? South Dakota had 3.2 beer for 18-year-olds. That was fun. We’d usually have pitchers of 3.2 beer with tomato juice.
That damned Senator from New Jersey (I think) ended all that by threatening to cut off all highway funds if the drinking age wasn’t raised to 21. Reagan signed the damn bill. Those damned East Coasters! LOL.
Sounds like a cozy bungalo, glad you had central heating & AC. I remember 3.2 beer. Growing up in rural Virginia, I was able to buy it illegally from the time I was 16.
