November 12… RB Day!
According to the Congressional Record, tomorrow is a little known and seldom celebrated US Holiday called RB Day. It was on this day back in ‘47 I think, a time when Winnie Churchill had already dragged the Iron Curtain across the world stage, wrapped himself in it and begun prancing about all goth and nonsense, a time when Hollywood was on about "The Egg and I" and "A Double Life" and Bollywood was yet to be, November 12, 1947… I’m guessing Gemini was rising because on that day the twins, RB and Chris Locke were born.
RB - in these parts that stands for Root Beer, and partner, not just ANY root beer, nosirree. Free Range Root Beer, aged like the finest, the finest - well - Root Beer!
It wasn’t that many years ago that I met Chris Locke. We were both enrolled in Root Beer 101 at Free Range University. Chris was trying to - I’m guessing here - get in touch with his roots?
