The Brentwood Gazette Weekly Teaser: 10-10=2012

Hmmm … 

Here’s hoping the picture lot gets editorial approval.

If nothing else, it’s a nice melding of the Gazette People logo: with the stock beer glass I’ve been using as posters for some time, now.

Well …

I like it, anyway … 

At ANY rate … ?

I’m assuming you’re here for the (very metaphorical) beer.

Or, if not the beer, then certainly the quiz questions … !

Now, as you know, I’ve been writing free question sets for some time: and the Daily Teaser, as well.

But it’s only recently that I’ve started writing for the Brentwood Gazette.

If you’re here because of that, Hello and Welcome!
