I contend that the south won that war.

I'm not getting into it; too many politics which shouldn't be discussed
in this echo.

Stumm, stumm, I'll skirt that maybe now and again
but try to stay on this side of civility.

Well, you'd get scanty information about the
political situation from most of those sites/museums.

Quite so; that's why I read Bruce Catton's trilogy last year. My main complaint with that was that he gave too much time/attention the first
part (up to Gettysburg) and very little time/attention to the rest of
the war & Lincoln's assasination.

The stuff before 1865 was less focused on and
had lots of issues that were underinvestigated,
so it was probably a conscious choice.

My trip there predated CDs by a lot. In my day, the
Gettysburg diorama (I believe not the same as the one
currently on display under that name) was the height
of technology.

The Cyclorama? That was fascinating in and of itself.

No, this was something else, though I did see that too.

There were many reasons for choosing margarine.
Most of them were bad reasons.

And being a child of the Depression, she thought she was doing her part
to feed us thriftily.

No doubt. But more effective and equally aesthetically
agreeable bight have been not to offer any spread at all.

Grab your Euell Gibbons book.....

Nah, I figure between me and my friends we can do

Probably quite a few people could.

Certainly.

The lion's mane doesn't taste like much, though it
indeed is edible.

And it is quite showy, especially a large one.

It's hard to mistake it.

Hi Michael,

I've got enough other going on in my life that I'll ignore the issue for
a while.

Possibly, but still somewhat disappointing.

Gettysburg diorama (I believe not the same as the one

No, this was something else, though I did see that too.

OK, I was there as a teen ager (early teens) very briefly with my
family. We mostly just drove around to some of the major highlights of
the battle area, did nothing inside as I recall.

Not in our family.

Especially if you have done so before.

We're keeping an eye on the tree where it grew last year. Our local
expert said that they often reappear.

Not sure what the NC State Seafood restaurant uses but we like their
version. Steve hasn't mentioned a post dining migraine so maybe they
don't use the corn meal.
