Autumn Lake Podcast #12: Of Spacewalks and Speakeasies

"Latest thing in flasks. Mlle. Rhea, dainty dancer who is now in the city as part of the Keiths program inaugurates the garter flask fad in Washington." -January 26, 1926

Our story thus far. Spacewalk sequence in the comic strip and from those old rocketship movies. You can't really fall off a spaceship. Getting back to Earth in time for Christmas. Frosty weather! December is upon us. Prohibition repealed December 5, 1933. The 18th and 21st Amendments. Dry Laws are dumb. Al Capone. Openly flaunting the Law. The girl with the flask in her garter. Eliot Ness and the Untouchables. Robert Stack. Alfred Smith, presidential candidate of 1928. Why Dry Laws don't work. I can just drive across the bridge to get booze! I can even booze it up on Sunday if I want. Esther Walker sings "Sahara, We'll Soon Be Dry Like You" (1919). The wine my parents bought. The goodness of wine, and how I learned about it. In your face, Prohibition!
