Ready for a typical Monday? What makes it a “typical” day anyway?

A sobering story… In the early 1900’s, about 40% of the government’s income was from taxes on wine, beer and whiskey.

What’s the difference?
Milk delivery started in Vermont back in 1785, in glass bottles in about 1874and stopped being delivered to a great degree in the 1960’s. Or did it?

The sell job on it is it’s a cleaner feel with quicker access to many features in a less cluttered way. I’ve seen comment pieces that it’s presenting a major …
