My best friend who is spending his vacation 2000 miles away in Gettysburg called me yesterday, him standing in front of the monument to the NC soldiers, knowing I had some distant cousins in the 11th NC Inf. Rubbing it in that he is there and I'm not. Damn Yankee. He at least better bring me back a minnie ball. And one that he dug up himself, not some souvenir shop made-in-china copy.

Navy, if you get the chance go to the American History Museum in Washington DC.
They have the trunk of a tree that was literally cut down by shot.
It's the damnist thing.

digging in the park will extend his vacation. The Rangers frown on those activities.
