Sometimes it's fun to write a roundup of breweries to visit in a particular area - a beer travel guide of sorts. So, here is one about breweries to visit during Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest hot air balloon festival.

Had a late afteroon project meeting down at the Biopark, so aterward I went for a run on the Rio Grande.
Yes a run, not a float. The rio in Albuquerque went dry a few days ago.

What's the stupidest way you've hurt yourself?
Oh I'm so glad you asked!

3rd grade. Bell rang to call us in from recess. I jumped from the top of the monkey bars and did a cannonball into a pile of sand. Knocked my wind out. Was late getting back to class
I have a lot of these.

Stapling my hand to the wall as a young kid while playing with a stapler in bed comes to mind 🤣

Oh I'm so glad you asked! I knocked myself out with a frozen bag of omelettes.
