A MID-CENTURY HAPPY HOLIDAY MARVEL---HOT DR. PEPPER

For many people hot mulled cider is for fall, Christmas and winter. But back in the mid-60's to early 70's, hot Dr. Pepper was all the rage instead, then it quickly fell out of favor. 

We revive this tradition now annually and it's as good as we remember. (And we sometimes add a little brandy.) 

To the right a 1972 ad for the libation, complete with Dr. Pepper warming rig.  Click on the photo.  You can occasionally find these on EBAY.

FOR THOSE FOLLOWING THE CATHOLIC CHARITIES WISCONSIN CASE....

The Leftist Wisconsin Supreme just handed Catholic Charities a massive win, and dealt a blow to Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul and his reelection campaign in the process.  In 2016, Catholic Charities applied for an exemption to Wisconsin's state unemployment insurance tax (UIT). That tax is collected by employers in the state and put into a fund for workers to draw from if they lose a qualifying job----MORE AT Wisconsin's Supreme Court Just Handed Catholic Charities a Major Win (and Dealt a Blow to AG Josh Kaul)
