WWI was an absolute mechanized industrial trench warfare muthafricka.


Though some Euro conflicts incorporated some of these on a small scale, the 1864 Atl Campaign and to a greater degree 1864 Overland Campaign in the ACW were a precursor to this. If you look at the trenches, redoubts, saps, traverses etc they resemble WW1 trenches but 50 years prior. Most have been destroyed bc of ‘progress’ but certain National and State Parks throughout the East have some incredibly preserved Earthworks.
It was all there and helped warfare evolve from Napoleonic tactics completely to 20th century tactics, though early WW1 still incorporated absolutely idiotic uniforms and tactics against the evolved weaponry.
Little Round Top was not NEARLY as strategically important as Chamberlain and subsequently Shaara made it out to be.
Beautiful views though since access reopened last year.
Hell yea!

MLB has an officiating problem though (again).
That was a horrific call to even extend it.

Great road trip start

Go get ejected, Snit. Tired of watching him sit on his hands while the Braves get boned by home plate umpires. Go blow out the home plate umpire's eardrum until he begs Snit to stop.

I love the haters. It’s like the movie about Howard Stern. People who liked him listened for an average of 2 hours a day. People that hated him listened for an average of 2.5 hours a day.

I get more replies from the haters.


Just poking fun. I read all of your finds threads and have inquired about items in the past.

Was hoping it would take me ‘me-ing’ to pull us out.

Love that boy with everything you got.
As others have said, the monthly shot does wonders.
My Weim, my best buddy, decided to move on across the bridge a couple years ago.
I miss him every single day and will never not.
We suck but this ump's score card is going to be a D- at best. Dude is AWFUL
