My grandpa loved this place - never more than a short wait, just a little banter. Stout on tap. Hell of a spot.

Really?!

I'll check it out!

It was always difficult getting info from Pop about the campaign, as he was very reluctant (understandably) to talk about it.

If you haven’t PLEASE read the book called the Ghost Mountain Boys. It’s all about the troops that served in that campaign. I bet your father was among them. His name might even be mentioned.

It was the nick name the Aussie troops gave natives of Papua New Guinea.

I assume he was in the army? Was he one of the “Ghost mountain boys”?

I recently saw an ask Reddit question, asking people why they use self-checkout. My answer would have been because that's all that is available anymore. Because Target Walmart the grocery store.. no matter where you're at, there's like one checker in 15 self checkout stands. With the exception of Aldi's. Oddly, the most common answer was from introverts who didn't want to talk to people saying that's why they use the self checkout. Does nobody realize that self-checkout is eventually going to take out all the workforce. It's already happened. Target is staffed at its bare minimum. If you happen to live in one of those neighborhoods where they lock everything inside of a glass cabinet, try waiting around on a Saturday to get something out of that cabinet and see how long it takes for one of the employees to show up. But meanwhile.. I did see about 10 different employees pushing shopping carts around for online orders
