This guy was taken for walks along the mountain tops I can see through my front room window !!

Generalfeldmarschall Karl Rudolf Gerd von Rundstedt

No less !!

It's always fascinated me people who live near sites of great historical significance. For example, the people who live in Gettysburg, PA. It's a small town so you know that almost everyone who lives there has seen the battlegrounds at least a couple of times.

Gettysburg is interesting. I went there on a dark December day many years ago. I was staying at an all female school in Chambersburg (another story), and we took a day trip to Gettysburg. Small town, lots of old houses, some still with bullet holes in them from the battle.

I can honestly say I got a real feeling that something bad had happened there.

Believe me, it wasn't that great. They hated having males on their campus for the first time in their history. I mean HATED it. I was there for three weeks, living in a dorm room, putting up with death stares from frankly ugly women. The food in the cafeteria was a horror. I swear, anything that didn't get eaten the first day got made into soup the second day. Including salads. Several times we said the hell with it and hiked into Chambersburg, about a half hour or so away and found a bar and ate and drank there. The steel workers at least put up with us.

Regarding that feeling of something bad happening, I don't think I've had that more than once or twice in my life. But I sure felt it at Gettysburg. And that's what it was, a feeling. I remember standing on a ridge and looking out at where Pickett's Charge had been and I shuddered. Not from the cold. I can't describe it better than that, just an intense feeling.

I was so afraid he was going to tell us about his sex change operation. I really didn't want to ask.

I skipped that part? Oops.

Wilson College, all girl school since the 1800's.

That wasn't on your resume Mr. 20mm.

20mm had a sex change operation ? I missed that.

Wouldn't have thought that. He (or do I now say she-it) seems such a regular good guy.

I guess I'm an old dinosaur about much of modern culture.

Might have something to do with why Magnum just had to get out of LA.
