1916 222 points are scored in a football game between Georgia Tech & Cumberland University of Lebanon, Tennessee

Isn't Cumberland U the home of "the fighting Cucumbers"?

I printed it out too . . .

That's something I keep saying I need to do . . . is there enough paper?

Okay, now you're piling on...
Isn't there a penalty for that?
Oh, right, this isn't the NFL..

If you get the chance read "The Last 100 Days" by John Toland. It's a pretty good account of the end of the Reich.

I've thought the same thing...nature abhors straight lines, and buildings are fraught with them

Tell me about it! Mortars need an open area and commoing the postion is tough, the nets break up the shape but they're kinda obvious if they're the only tall things standing in an open field. LOL!

Morning w_over-w.

I debated making this a three parter and breaking up the "Redoubt" part into two.

Morning Johnny.

It was bizarre, some towns put up fanatical resistance and others the units just rolled through. One never knew what lay around the next bend in the roud of the next town. Everyone had to know it was over and didn't want to get killed or wounded in the last days. The pressure on the nerves had to be awful.

I'm sure it isn't boring. Really jinxy, it would be a legacy to your children too. See, now I've given you more reasons. C'mon. "The hijinxes of HiJinx's life" LOL.

Start out with just enough I can do a thread on and then you can see how you like writing and turn it into a novel.

Thank you. I will add it to my growing list of books to read and movies to watch.

Ok...you heard it here first.

If nothing else, a journal to pass on to the sons.

Let me get back to you guys in a year...10/07/04...and I'll give you a chance to look it over.
