Budweiser? Two Brothers? A Mind Boggling Concept...

Now the names of beers were pretty simple until now...In my mind beer has been synonymous with BUDWEISER or OLD STYLE...NOT ANY MORE....Now there's whole new world of beer, MICRO BREWS...and the names are as novel as the beers themselves and the tastes are unique and delectable, (and you thought Budweiser was the King of beers). How about wrapping your lips around a cold, frosty Mississippi Mud, or a chilled Breakfast Stout. I am not sure I'm brave enough for the Clown's Feet. In this election year you could celebrate with a tall Dark Horse or Green Flash Hop Head or Two Brothers Prairie Path. Just imagine the delectable delights. OMG... So little time and so many tantalizing beverages.

Are Zombies Real??

ZOMBIES ARE FOR REAL. A recent article in Consumer Reports states this is becoming an epidemic. You may have even seen some. They're those folks with dark circles under their eyes, who exhibit irritability, anxiety, decreased brain function, etc. The symptoms also include apathy, high blood pressure, weight gain and headaches. The cure is very simple...A NEW MATTRESS. Do I need a new mattress? If you wake up with aches and pains, your mattress shows visible signs of overuse, has lumps and is 5-7 years old. You are probably in the market. How long a mattress last depends on some factors such as the amount of use and original quality. However, the average amount of time your mattress gives you the best amount of support is 5-7 years. Is it time for you to get out of the ZOMBIE mode? Come to UFS and check out our mattress department and find yourself a great night's sleep at an affordable price.

In the spirit of Gertie & Phil!

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day. Will Punxsutawney Phil see his shadow and forecast us 6 more weeks of bad weather? Or will he be shadowless and stay above ground as an indicator that spring is quickly approaching? Every year I wonder how this holiday became so popular. Why do we bring the poor groundhog out of his hole every year so early in the morning? I did a little bit of research and found out that this ritual started in the 18th and 19th century as a Pennsylvannia German culture.


And in this century we still wake that poor groundhog up early in the morning and see if he can predict what the weather will do. Even if you don't believe the groundhog knows what he is talking about in regards to the weather it's still fun to follow along, don't you agree?
