NO TOAST FOR 10/28!
Wewon't be raising a glass to this date
in history. The Volstead Act was published
on this day in 1919, essentially beginning
Prohibition oin the United States! A few
years later, on October 28th of 1929, a lot
of people were looking for a drink! That was
the beginning of the stock market crash! Of
course prohibition was repelled in 1933. But
people faced another serious "drinking problem"
in 1942 when the government announced plans
to ration coffee! Of course the effective date
for that decision wasn't until a month later on
November 28 so at least folks had some warning.
Maybe the best way to mark the day is with a
quick nip........of coffee of course! Hope you're
well and that all your NEWS is good!
