longtime reader (and even longertime friend) bc found this image somewhere on the internets.
(note: i had to make it a link, rather than grab the image itself, because for many people the image just won't load)
it's from dutch henry's, a bar in martins ferry, ohio.
bc lives a few blocks from the dutch, though i would suspect that, at one time, one could say that bc's house was a few blocks from his real home -- the dutch. it's a typical upper ohio valley bar, and when i was younger, we'd end our nights of semi-bacchanalia with a wiedmann's fine beer ... first in flavor, first in formaldehyde!
the dutch, i think, was moved down the block a few years ago, but bc can leave a comment and correct me on that one.
anyway. it's a nice touch of home, and it makes me miss ferry.
well, not ferry per se. nobody misses ferry exactly. :)

So is this just a trick to see who's still reading?
Fix the image link already!
Unless you're too busy making fun of me in the comments section of some other blog, of course...
I really did email him!
I'd just moved to Chicago in late 1996 and he had written a few columns about this new-fangled thing called "AOL" and how people were sending messages, etc. He put his screen name in a column and I wrote him (being a fellow AOL user). He wrote back.
It was ... cool. Definitely -- after seeing a woman naked in person for the first time -- the coolest thing that had happened to me to that point.
