Good 35ยบ foggy cloudy glooooooomy morning, again! Sigh.....
Happy Monday.
I was sitting in my chair, playing solitaire on my iPad, and
listening to music on the TV and I heard one of my favorite
songs...
Now, it says the song is sung by Gene Autry, but, NO, it's Perry Como!
Someone doesn't know s**t about vocalists.
Yesterday I messed with paperwork, my checking account, and a
couple more bills. It stayed so cold and gloomy....No reason to go out.
So I sat in my comfy chair, drank wine, and watched
football!
Yesterday's NFL games:
Boy howdy, the Packers were playing in some rough weather against
Texas!
To top all that off, my Tom Brady after yesterday's game became the
winningest
quarterback in NFL history with 201 career wins! GO TOMMY!!!! YEAH!!!

December 5th
Repeal Day is today. It
commemorates the repeal of the 18th Amendment. Once more, Americans were free
to buy, sell, and consume alcoholic beverages. I'll drink to that!
In the early 1900's, many of the good people of America believed that
alcohol was the root cause of many social ills in the country. Prohibition on a
national scale, was promoted in part by the American Christian Women's
Temperance Union. This movement grew in popularity. Ultimately, the United
States Congress passed the 18th amendment on January 16, 1919. The 16th
Amendment prohibited the manufacture, transportation, sale and consumption of
alcohol.
The ban on alcohol did little to improve the social conditions of the
country, or to reduce crime. Rather, crime increased as racketeers got into the
the business of making and selling alcohol. The popularity of the 18th
Amendment waned. More and more people and groups sought it's repeal.
Congress passed the 21st Amendment, effectively repealing the 18th
Amendment. On December 5, 1933, the State of Utah voted it's approval of the
21st Amendment, achieving the 3/4 of states need to approve this amendment. Thus
on this day, the 18th Amendment was formally repealed.
I think I'll have a Dirty Sue martini tonight!!
