For you pork enthusiasts out there on the west coast...

I checked Slate for the first time in years today and was delighted to find photos of the Danube, allowing me to continue my nostalgic Budapest dotting.
Quick reminder: If you're ever in a hotel lobby and they start to play 'The Blue Danube Waltz,' get the hell out...that waltz means that they need to evacuate the building

Wine tourism. A very nice article from Mr. McLaughlin.

Actual headline...
Dr. Leo Spaceman apparently joins Stephen Colbert among Americans recently honored in Hungary.
And in real life, this is a follow up to my dot a while back about cell phone calls from space and my desire to someday receive such a call, or place one.

I want a call from space if any of you ever vacation there. Andras Simonyi is, of course, more famous for being one of Stephen Colbert's most charming guests.
Quoted: Andras Simonyi, the ambassador from Hungary, was walking down Massachusetts Avenue Saturday when his cellphone rang. "Hi Andras," said the caller, "this is Charles." As in Charles Simonyi -- the Hungarian American billionaire who bought a seat on a Russian rocket. He was calling from the international space station.

Ah, the Tropicana. In my day, we were happy with blackjack.
Quoted: “For me, poker is an intellectual game,” said Texas Hold’em star Richard Tóth, 27, talking at Tropicana after he dropped out of the Budapest Poker Open tournament – the most important event of its kind in Hungary, in which the winner takes home Ft12.5m ($64,300).

I have much love for Alsace, but the French name-hoarders had no real ground to stand on here. (Finally, the French acquiesce something. I'm tired of their international bullying...)
BTW, Derek, thanks for the heads up on the photos. I don't think it's too difficult to figure out - I just hadn't noticed.
Quoted: The French wine-growing area of Alsace officially surrendered to Hungary the label Tokay, which has been used for several hundred years to designate a local variety of white.
