To my friends who enjoy a glass of hardcider... and those who don't.

As Ben Franklin said: “In hardcider there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria.”

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli, (E. coli) - bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop.

However, we DO NOT run that risk when drinking hardcider because hardcider has to go through a purification process of filtering and fermenting.

Remember:
Water = Poop
Hardcider = Health

Therefore: It's better to drink hardcider and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit.

Sorry I missed this one guys, Its a shame as I was really looking forward to it.

However, with just getting back from a family vacation late Wed night and leaving again on Tuesday for NHC, I just could not find the time to get there. Hopefully Rick may be willing to do another cider meeting in the fall during cider season that I can get in on.

Thank you for hosting the Tech Meeting Rick! Heard from a few people that it was another great meeting.
