Honoring a National Holiday

You know you want one.
Today, April 7, is a national holiday.  Close to the end of the dark, dark era of this nation known as The Prohibition, FDR's signing of the Cullen-Harrison Act on March 22 "allowed people to buy and drink low-alcohol content beer and wine in public," according to The Constitution Daily.  It went into effect on April 7, enabling people to slug down a Pabst or the like freely until the 21st Amendment negated the horrible, terrible 18th Amendment that December.

A good, crisp, less filling read of the Daily's summary is on tap here.

As such, today is known as National Beer Day.  Take one down, pass it around.  Have a beer.

I'd love a beer today. Unfortunately, last night's chills have progressed to sickness today. Also, did I mention my kid threw up on me last night? Well, that too.

Dave you are a day late and a Dollar short on both beer day and the radio show. Whitney did the radio show last night, but it was a technical difficulties snafu, so apparently they are postponing that playlist until next week.
