Pretty cool, though:

Big Porch Ale is an Amber-style ale brewed to be enjoyed while on Mackinac Island, between Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas, or back home to help you remember the time you spent there. You can only find this special brew at the Grand Hotel.

Police: Tulsa suspect targeted surgeon he blamed for pain

Source: AP

A man who blamed his surgeon for ongoing pain after a recent back surgery bought an AR-style rifle hours before opening fire at a Tulsa medical office, killing the surgeon and three other people before fatally shooting himself, police said Thursday.

Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin says the gunman had recently undergone back surgery and had called a clinic repeatedly complaining of pain.

Franklin says the doctor who performed the surgery, Dr. Preston Phillips, was killed Wednesday, along with another doctor, a receptionist and a patient.

“We also have a letter on the suspect, which made it clear that he came in with the intent to kill Dr. Phillips and anyone who got in his way,” Franklin said. “He blamed Dr. Phillips for the ongoing pain following the surgery.”
