Walked out of volunteering this morning to find my CR-V had a massive flat left front tire. I did my most painful looking face palm ever. I then begrudgingly got on the ground and began changing it. I was a dirty and dusty mess when I was finished, but I did get to drive home without having to call a tow truck and spend those big bucks that would have entailed. That would have surely and most likely added insult to injury. It will only cost me $25 bucks at West Point Tire and Auto to plug the leak.
The Civil War meets the Computer Age…
“What are you looking at?” my father inquisitively and nosily said as we sat on my couch with our iPads.
“I‘ve been keenly interested in the Civil War these past few days,” I replied.
Dad soon was looking for Civil War information as well. Dad says him and I are two peas in a pod with regards to our eclectic and nerdy interests.

I am a single woman with a now grown-up daughter. I am not a Southern Belle. I was born into a family where women on both of my parent's sides of the family were homesteaders. I was not raised to be afraid of critters nor to be helpless. It is my nature to try to figure out how to fix something, or to do what is needed.
When my daughter was young, we were on our way somewhere when I realized I had a flat tire. I pulled over and told my daughter I was going to change the tire. She said, "Great, we might not get there in time." I asked her what time it was. 7 minutes later we were on our way, car jacked up, tire changed, everything back in the trunk.
I think I impressed my daughter that day.
Some say that understanding the Civil War means to understand nearly all of the following us-american history. A bit like the European Urkatastrophe, the First Worldwar.
