Prohibition and The Postal Service

mrhousingb2002.jpgmrhousingb2002.jpgmrhousingb2002.jpgProhibition began on January 16, 1920. This Posting will explain that the Post Office did indeed have some interesting packages during prohibition.

purple119x175.jpgInterestingly during prohibition, Wineries continued making wine with creative wine making practices. One acceptable method of wine making mrhousingb2002.jpgmrhousingb2002.jpgwas in conjunction with Church.

The Catholic Church needed Wine for the Religious activity of Communion. Beaulieu Vineyard, was popular; they claimed they were, “The House of Alter Wine.” The other way in which a winery could stay in business during prohibition was supporting wine making practices for people at home.

The deal was to mail the home wine maker a kit containing the materials to make the wine. Under a loophole in The Volstead Act, the head of house hold could make up to two hundred gallons of wine a year. So, Wineries would mail grape juice and concentrate under names like Forbidden Fruit, Vine-Glo and Moonmist to homes via the Post Office.

Now this would be taking place in 1915. Wine making technology was not very sophisticated. The instructions sometimes would read as a warning, “Do not place container in room temperature over 60 degrees or contents may ferment.” It is important to realize the types of grapes were used had to be hardy since the shipping was often across country. Today wines are made with grapes grown for their subtle or complex quality of wine on the palate. Alicante Bouschet and Alicante Ganzin were thus used back then but were considered bad at the very least. I imagine that they were very much like the Concord Grape used today in grape juice Concentrate.

As part of the wine making practices during prohibition the juice or grapes were shipped in the mail. This would probably mean complications during shipping. Some leakage and even soaked cardboard was an ordinary appearance at the Post Office. So this stuff was shipping; and so in time, also dried if spilled or broken. Oh how the Post Office must have hated the mail articles containing whine. Well, I have always been a little afraid of smells. But I think I know the smell they had when a household ordered a wine making kit.

Some Pretty major changes took place in the Napa Valley after prohibition which wouldn’t have been due to the pressures of the Post Office. It makes sense the wineries could use delicate grapes and thus a more complex wine on location after prohibition. However the Post Office didn’t complain or cause the political tides ending prohibition; that was because of the voters who wanted to drink.

mrhousingb2002.jpgAnd, so the interesting era ended after fourteen years where the Post Office managed things on the basis of an occasional smell. The ending of prohibition meant that wine could be shipped more appropriately. If even the occasional bottle were to leak or break the product could never have such a devastating affect as a distinctive smell since the quality of the product is much improved. There is a natural inclination for improvements yet this is probably one practice which goes into history as interesting for the Post Office and did not have any negative effect.

Correct Thoughts on Quality

Well, I hope we can iron out the wrinkles in my Art Project. The truth is that I have a little childhood business.  I call it business because it concerns business.  See my brother’s friend, and my friend too, was a resource for us to get marijuana. So, that’s no big deal. Lots of young people experiment with pot. As far a childhood business is concerned, everyone thinks about their childhood from time to time; it’s how we discover our lessons that make us better adults.

Okay this is how it is going to go. An old episode of planet of the Apes had a scene where the Prince complained the corn farming practices were producing smaller ears of corn. This isn’t about the major reason for not legalizing pot; it is about Quality. Back at the Planet of the Apes, recall that the humans were the minority. One of the humans commented about the Princes’ observation that the corn seeds were looking smaller and smaller each year. The human said that the biggest seeds should be planted in anticipation of the next years crop. The very largest and best corn seeds were being consumed by the Prince. The concept of quality burned into my conscience. With the human’s logic the best seeds should be planted for next years crop. This would insure that next year’s corn crop is a better quality of corn.

The scene on Planet of the Apes made so much sense. I applied it to my situation with my friend who brought marijuana. And when I recall those days as a young person and using pot with him, I did give him the inferior buds of a lesser Quality. So, now I realize how my drug days have waned to pretty much nothing. And, I deserve to get nothing. Had I known to give him the Best Quality and Best Service, I would have a better chance at getting the occasional summer buzz from pot smoking that is so much needed for the peace and sanctity of the household.

I make an effort to redeem myself. I often leave money for people to find. This way I get a little bit of therapy. “I was pot smoking the quality; and now I don’t get it anymore.” If you have any ideas how I can get that working again let me know.

ART Project

A Puzzle blank. Open file in Paint. The picture presented by Box.net is a Thumbnail. This Puzzle is a Jpeg Blank. It should be printed and filled in with Magazine piece-cuttings.

I am recommending you print the penciled Picture Blank then cut and paste (one inch squares) from magazines like a collage.  I don’t have the exact scale; so the squares might not be exactly one inch.  And, if you want to do this project in paint, I suggest after opening to save it as a 16 bit color pic or possibility 24 bit color pic.  The regular jpeg uses thousands of colors making it hard to fill the boxes.

This one was a coffee theme. https://gevluef.com/2008/11/13/caffeine/

On Dental Hygiene

Lets get started. The deadline to turn in your gun in Hong Kong was the 15th of July. This is consistent with their Amnesty program.  Now that the date has passed, two things are worth noting.  First, in a city of that size, there are bound to be little factions or pockets of people all believing the same thing regardless of validity.

Apply Frank

So many pairs of onion stitches!

There are so many things going-on on the Internet. Assuming I am behaving, there is some news I have to share. I am Blogging in other places. I am on the Internet. I am getting around. The news I want to share is only news I could get while discovering the divots around and about. All that work I was doing; that was just the old system. This is the stuff making news these days.

Did you read my title? He better be over 70 IQ points; Frank. There is first a cross-product. I thought we could “Toilet-Drive.” There is usually a sale at the market place on candy. I am learning that other than the high priced candy of convenience stores, a person can get a regular candy bar for $0.33 cents at the market. It is an ongoing deal. Let’s go Down; Yeah Baby!

Have you gotten the news yet? It is existentially — No! There are those whose strength they know not, as in the power of the metaphor, these Special people always seem to end up black-and-blue. But there is a reason for that; it’s Jeff. The persistent problem arises when these low functioning people start to learn about how they became a person. Basically, due to metaphor they are all on the same page. All that’s needed is for the metaphor to catch on and the trip unfolds as it does for anyone. “Carl is a Jap” I hope that they keep working at it because when they get home they better get back into themselves. Aren’t we fortunate from the common areas now such as Psychotherapy introduces a person to; the city bus, the public health clinic, shopping carts, and bathrooms at the mall, these are all places where you are in the desired circumstance. You know not to touch your eyes and mouth. These are all the instances of how to get a communicable disease. But in this context, that’s a good thing; for example, how else can a person get a mite! These places are worthy trading posts for handling large amounts of Sugar.

All of this is just fine and dandy. Ho Hum; Right? It is time the news has passed; don’t ya think? A friend has been inspired and you have brought them a Coat Hanger from home. Hopefully the sanctity of a coat hanger has remained in tact; it is for your friend so you give them a coat hanger. Is it well formed? There are other less appropriate forms of a coat hanger, but in this instance the coat hanger is normal. Maybe you are getting the playful mood I have been in lately. The scale could be all the matter way out of proportion. Did I just give my friend my Golden Gate Bridge? It is made of metal. But what is a Gate. And why is it Golden?

Lets see. What else could I have been up to all this time. Does this page indicate I have friends? I have got to do an integral. I live in California! You’re friends with who you’re with. I am always with Frank; but I am not a car.

Melody of a Law Student

There is a difference in the Languages of English and Chinese. Interestingly the Chinese language has an object oriented assignment. With good etiquette, I have to create something that will help me to get to the Predicate without making the object assignment. I have been worried about this; in English it’s always a V.  This inane object from the Legal system is the thing separating the Plaintiffs and the Defendants. The Chinese people probably have a name for this V.  object since it also is in the middle.  So, when I see my writing and the sentences are formed, I do not say what marries my Subject/Predicate idea because I am using English.

One of the worst habits in the English language is perhaps the Comma Splice.  When, by my own design, I cause a writer to have a habit such as V, I should say the action sooner.  What in English we call a comma splice is within the mechanics of the Chinese Language an object of the matter. Thus the sentences are formed with an object assignment.

The subject, the subject, the subject action. About what? Make the action about the subject. Directly say what the subject predicates.  The hang time is like a Wave. The Moon makes the waves. You ride the wave. As in motion Surfing is exciting enough to bring the predicate closer to the Subject.  There isn’t much chance of delaying the predicate in this instance.  Is my V tanking?

Surely there are already programs in place for dealing with a person like me.  I do not know why that is, but my sentences are made up of two separate sentences. I often write a complex or compound sentence. I am sure I will someday learn about how I form sentences. But for now, let’s say that I have created an inspiration to get my predicate to come before I am concerned with an object.
