The Crisis

Today, our resident historian, Daniel Bla$ingame, provides some perspective.

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”  Thomas Paine, The Crisis

Crisis. 

We seem to be in a constant state of crisis. TrumpZuckerbergRutledge.  Wendt.  Bla$ingame & Sturner.   

The Chinese use the same word for 'crisis' and they do 'opportunity.' Some think they also use the same word for 'General Tso's Chicken' as they do for 'Orange Chicken,' BUT ITS NOT THE SAME THING!!!

I digress. There is a shining silver lining in the crisis: the stress of disaster, or near disaster, tends to bring us all together.  In the spirit of togetherness, let us all join together at the newest addition to the Fayetteville brew houses:
