#1 Hank Salmans has always loved coffee. He loves it so much, in fact, that as a Marine stationed far from Lawrence, he strained grounds through a sock to get his fix.

Though heâs retired the sock-filter method, heâs kept his love of coffee and combined it with his love of the Marine Corps to create the Lawrence-based Devil Dog Brew.

Two of the varieties of Devil Dog Brew, the brainchild of Lawrence resident Hank Salmans. Salmans, a former Marine, donates a portion of his profits to charities associated with the Marine Corps.

#2 In ~~Berkly-on-Kaw~~ Lawrence, KS, its a hippy town, a bug town, where people bravely key cars with unapproved bumper stickers. I'll buy.

#3 Hey now, there is a Bug driven in this Republican's driveway. Don't judge the bug, judge the thug who key cars. They're probably driving Honda Elements or beaters.

#4 No offense, reference to Starship Troopers.

But yes, Lawrence is stock full of the new model VW Bugs, hippied out in flower power stickers and other hippy flair. In Lawrence there are two sects and or caste of hippie - the older group of the neo-hippie movement of the later 90's and the foux hippie who are the children of quite well-to-do parents usually from Johnson County who wear the garb more as costume. I do not judge the vehicle, but if I had a picture of what the typical foux hippie drives there you would agree it looks like a prop from Laugh-in but in general have an appreciation for property.

The neo-hippies are the vandals and shout down types in that town especially after a night of drinking. The art guarillas who post up signs like, "Please keep dogs and Republicans on leash at all times." Usually have drunk their way out of college but stayed on for the lifestyle. They have a watered down anarchy movement but also a recruiting area for leftists, islamists, but that is where my story must end. Just...check the back of the university library every once in a while.

As a vehicle, I do find the VW bug easy on the eyes.
