Maybe I'll get to see Ken Burns' Prohibition series that starts tonight. Prohibition was part of a 100 year plus movement in the US which featured such things as dry apartment buildings, dry trains, dry sections of towns and even a famous lady who you can get a glimpse of http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJdKK6L8Z2o here, who bears a strong resemblance to our Author's Friend. Those who haven't read American history haven't been exposed to just how bizarre and humorous humankind has been and can be. Wanted to see this last night but it conflicted with Dexter. May have to wait for Netflix to release it. Love everything Ken Burns does. Now that's really scary. It's running tonight in North Carolina but ran last night in Iowa? Guess PBS here didn't get all of its NASCAR races and gospel music in for their begathon after all. I think the 2nd episode is running tonight here, but the 1st ran last night.
