Blog-Bud Alison put up a post that struck a chord with me, for obvious reasons:  Happy Hour.  Said post is artfully done, consisting solely of a beautiful photo of a bottle of Bombay Sapphire and a delectable potion derived from that source, backed up with an appropriate quote from George Bernard Shaw.  We didn't recognize the quote and went and consulted the Modern Oracle for its source, stumbling upon a veritable treasure trove of quotes on the subject at hand.  My favorite of which is this:

"Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)

It's been said our Founding Fathers were wise, but Ol' Ben was wiser than most. I've trotted out this quote many times in the past and will doubtlessly use it many more times in the future.  But... we shall quit talking about beer and go put it to its intended use.  The Deity At Hand approves.  Ben said so.
