| Fish tacos and a Clausthaler |
Our favorite Cambria restaurant is the
Moonstone Beach Bar & Grill. They make the best
cippino I have ever tasted - being that I have otherwise only ordered chippino at the
Severn Inn and
Carrol's Creek restaurant in Annapolis, Maryland - these three are among our favorite restaurants to regularly frequent. All three have their distinct views of water - Pacific Ocean, Spa Creek and the Annapolis City Marina, and the Severn River with the
U.S. Naval Academy across the way, respectively.

| Brewers Blackbird |
We typically have at least one lunch at the Moonstone Grill, and this year I ordered my second-favorite dish - fish tacos, along with a Clausthaler non-alcoholic beer. A side order with each meal that is free-of-charge are guests that arrive uninvited are
Brewers Blackbirds, another kind of brew. Signs ask the patrons to not feed the birds, but the birds ignore them and wait for every chance window-in-time between when the guests leave a table, and the staff show up to clear the plates and crumbs.

| Chambers Gallery item |
The sketch at the left shown in the
Chambers Gallery reminded me of the photograph above with the
Brewers Blackbird looking up at me from the ground while I was served my fish tacos at the Moonstone Bar & Grill a few weeks ago. The colors are not true, but the perspective is the same - the bird looking up, me looking down. I didn't write down the artist's name, but in some ways the style looks a little bit like something Ellie Bogardus would have done. Without finer details, it is hard to tell whether the subject could be a
Brewers,
Tricolored, or
Red-winged blackbird, and not to forget the other species at the table, a
Clausthaler brew.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
