The first Civil War walking tour seemed to go well…
and the second one is coming up this weekend. There are already a bunch of people signed up for it. I am excited. Needless to say I have had the Civil War era on the brain for a while, but especially lately.

What will this year’s winter be like?
I have been reading some of the long-range forecasts for this upcoming fall and winter. Generally speaking, it seems they are predicting a pretty mild fall with temperatures above normal, and then it looks like this winter will most definitely not be like last winter.
Trickle-down economics? No. Trickle-down dumb? Maybe.
Sigh.
Is stupid contagious? I am starting to wonder.
