good talk

Mike was at Wind River, Wyoming, last Monday, and said that Totality was very-impressive tho quite-short at 2 minutes.  Here in Las Vegas, I didn't see anything.  Probably some of those glasses for the event were defective with a bunch of people complaining that they're now semi-blind, too bad.  There's a lot more hate than love in the world, just the way it is, the U.S. Congress trying to legislate hate out of existence, stems from minds weakened by lengthy-indulgence in heavy drugs.  The movie (2003) "Gods and Generals" shows well the decisive-movement at the Battle of Chancellorsville (April 30 to May 6, 1863), when on May 2, General Lee, expected to retreat from a superior Federal force, instead risked-it-all by dividing his Army, sending Stonewall Jackson to attack an exposed Federal flank (the Rebels double-timing thru the woods, emerging with startled Federal troops leaping to their feet). This was called "Lee's Perfect Battle".  Why, today, few Americans know how to do the "Rebel Yell", a series of quick, high-pitched screams, and it's fun to do
