Modern technology is great when it works! Never let a computer know that you’re in a hurry!

I love GPS!

Shiloh

Antietam for me, so far. I like that it is largely uncluttered by monuments, as is Gettysburg.

So tragic a thing. The war almost ended there. And if it was anyone besides Lee, it would have ended there.

In general, the larger and more populated an urban area is the shoddier and more indifferent the service you will receive at a fast food place.

You want "good" McDonalds, for example, then go out to a rural town where the employees are older women supplementing their social security check and teenagers who were in the 4H Club.

100%. I'm not so much a McD guy, it's adequately nutritious and fast recovery food. I live in maybe the most affluent district in Canada, has the worst McDonald's I've seen; frequent poor service. I sincerely want to move to a rural town.

I moved out of Columbus and back to my hometown almost two years ago. While neither small, nor rural (50,000 population), the difference in stupidity level is palatable.

In two years, for example, nobody has ever asked me for a handout while I'm pumping gas.

My annual Civil War tour is coming up. I’ll walk the battlefields of the Seven Days, east of Richmond. With this trip I’ll have visited every battlefield east of the Mississippi. The Revolutionary War battlefields will follow starting in ‘26.

That's the CSA counter-offensive to the 1862 Federal amphibious invasion to take Richmond? A very ambitious plan
I would say. The beginning of Lee's reputation.

If you visit Malvern Hill please post some pics.

I like a real map, still use them. I like seeing the lay of the land. I’d bet you look at a real map of those battlefields you visit before you visit them. i know I would.
I bought a new pickup in 2023; would trade ALL the worthless tech for some good paint. Everything they came up with after power steering I could easily live without.
