To Arthur

Thursday, at 17:59 Dublin time, folks all across the globe are invited to raise a glass of Guiness and toast Arthur. That time marks the 250th anniversary of the moment when Guiness signed the lease on the famous brewery. So September 24th I'll go to lunch at the local Irish pub and raise a glass "To Arthur."

It'll be 1 minute before 1:00 PM my time. Too early for a glass of stout? Probably. But once every 250 years I can be lenient. What time will it be where you are? And will you join me in a toast?

I bet it'd be easier in California. There's something pleasantly decadent about drinking beer for breakfast... maybe Rat will let us know.
