subscribeThe Gutters Run Gold

There was a little while this morning when I thought I’d finally get an “Oh, the HUMANITY” moment in my broadcasting career.
Then I found out the beer truck that overturned on Highway 151 north of the I-90 interchange, shattering its 22-ton cargo of glass bottles and flooding the side of the highway, was filled with lime-flavored intoxicants, and I was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing of value was lost.
Here are the pictures taken at the scene by the Madison Fire Department. Fire spokeswoman Lori Wirth forwarded them to me. She tells me you could smell the lime-scented essence of barley and hops for miles. Since these pictures were taken, the truck trailer has apparently split open as they tried to tow it. One can imagine the deluge of beer and broken glass is quite a bit more evident.
I think the first is the best because of the big, goofy grin on the guy who’s walking away from the “carnage.”
You know what they say… No use crying over spilt beer.

None of the news stories mentioned whether it was Miller or Budweiser, and I don’t see any beer logos on the truck. Did Lori Wirth happen to tell you? Inquiring minds want to know.

Fortunately, it was that crap Budweiser lime beer…if you can even call it beer!
