1/17/2023 Prohibition

If Prohibition had continued, we would not have legal breweries. Here is a new one in Fairfax off of Waples Mill Road, Honor Brewing Kitchen.

1/17/23 – Prohibition

I couldn’t get the photo to upload! Looks like a bike forum glitch. You can see my photo on my strava feed here:

EDIT – Henry got it fixed so here’s my upload!

01/17/23 – Prohibition

In March 1933 the U.S. Congress passed the Cullen-Harrison Act which legalized the sale of beverages containing not more than 3.2 percent alcohol by weight. However, Virginia still had a state-wide prohibition law in effect and Virginia Governor John G. Pollard was a dry.

But little old Alexandria had enough, and the City Council decided it was over for them. So on June 29, 1933, it became legal to drink in the City of Alexandria, but theoretically, it was still against Virginia State law for a few more months.

The special election was held on October 3, 1933. The vote to end state prohibition was 99,640 to 58,518 in favor and the vote to devise a plan of liquor control to take the place of State Prohibition passed 100,445 to 57,873. Delegates elected by the voters formally ratified the 21st amendment at a special convention held October 25, 1933. Virginia was the 32nd state to ratify the 21st amendment.

Since its establishment in 1934, Virginia ABC has contributed more than $9 billion to the Commonwealth’s general fund, which supports major education, health and transportation initiatives.

Virginia ABC employs more than 4,000 people statewide.

Great story. I LOVE old fashioneds! Do you know how to make the smoky kind? And if so will you teach me? [emoji2]

I love how your written stories babble a mile a minute just like your speech. My father used to say good writing should sound like the person is talking. I think you got that one down [emoji38][emoji1360]

Thank you Nadine. If I were asked to make a smoky Old Fashioned (and couldn’t google a recipe) I would substitute a peaty Scotch for the rye/bourbon that is normally used.

1/18/2023 Winnie the Pooh Day

Well, Winnie the Pooh escaped from the 100-acre woods, hopped a jet to Japan. After the plane ride, he hopped into a store to grab a disguise to fit in better in Tokyo, so I give you: Japanese Winnie!

such as STOP signs. Many motorists consider these items suggestions rather than requirements. Am I right?

As do I and most of the cyclists I know. It’s not just motorists. The difference being that motorists will claim that they stop even when they don’t, while we cyclists generally do not make those claims.
