You may be right, Debby. I have been reading that Maine was one of the states that had prohibition for many years prior to the official prohibition. It’s quite interesting.

The spiritual dog got a laugh out loud from me, Debby. And the fun facts are so… fun, Sally. I suppose Kentucky needed the law about wedding your wife’s grandmother because of all the whiskey-drinking. Lol.
