The 20th Maine Regiment fought heroically at Gettysburg and other battles in the Civil War.

Chuckle.
We went to a (British) civil war re-enactment. Tinder from a canon ignited a haystack. Volunteers and soldiers were quickly running to the scene when a police helicopter flew in to see what was happening.
The downdraft scattered the fire, setting alight the surrounding fields and 4 other haystacks.
Interesting day out.

I'm in a lightning storm and heavy rain. A bolt struck not far from here just now, and I felt the thunder through my feet.

The song "Thunder Road"

We have sleet here. You want that? Its cool.

No I'm fine with this perfect temperature. Soon though I must activate my air conditioning unit, and I need to spray it with some bleach or vinegar to keep it from pumping out mildew. Yuck.

British people reenact the American Civil War? It never occurred to me. Kinda funny.

Its a great song, although in that classic film its played at too fast of a tempo. It needs to be much slower. It sounds a lot better that way.

No, the British / English civil war,

A real "civil" war would be someone British saying "really old chap, might you reconsider your opinion" over tea and crumpets.

 

[sun rise]

Then there's a real "you know, this means war", cat style

You have a very strange idea of Britain.

You don't sound like a very good get-away driver.....

 

[Wu Wei]

I am well aware.

Never seen Maine. Wouldn't mind it, but I won't hold my breath.

Sleet, freezing rain, snow, hail, we get it all here... in the foothills of the Adirondacks

Oh...and a warning to all.... I am 2 hours overdue to lunch and I am one HUNGRY bear....

The Brits, especially the upper class, does not believe in civility along with keeping "a stiff upper lip, what"?

 

[sun rise]

I now have to clean my teeth before my dentist appointment. I don't want a hygienist going "tsk tsk" along with disapproving jabs with very sharp instruments at the food between my teeth from lunch.

Dunno, I've never met one like that. I thought my hubbies parents were upper class but they don't sound/act like toffee nosed twits with a plum in their mouths

I not even sure the 1950 BBC upper class twit existed in the 1950s, maybe a stereotype of the 1850s true blue wigg
