Some good recommendations. Thanks!

Oops, I meant "present tense," not "present text."

Although dated, Albert Castel's history of the Atlanta Campaign, which I finally read recently, did a good job of making a complex campaign much more understandable. But his style of writing in the present text was pretty distracting.

Join the hordes on FB mocking that fat hump.

Great words. So when are you Democratic leaders going to start.... leading?

Excuse me while I vomit.

Over 50 episodes of MTV Unplugged, many unavailable for over two decades, are now streaming on Paramount+ → cons.lv/feYgIU

Where's Joe Strummer when we really need him?

I just finished the first volume of Michael Blasingame's two-volume bio of Lincoln, published almost 20 years ago. It is one of the best biographies I've ever read. It really brought home what a mess this country was in during the 1850s. I highly recommend the book.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.

100% of his salary is paid by WA state.

Elon fired him. Share his story.

"Wartime," the book Fussell wrote on WWII, is really good. I have, but have not read, the WWI one yet.

Wegmans is our favorite store. (Except the one in Binghamton, NY, which is ALWAYS jammed.)

I'm amazed he found a spine to slap that sign on.

NY State: 80 bucks at the Seneca res for enough gummies to get me asleep every night for five months. No permit or doctor's Rx needed.

What's legitimate about tearing down the federal government, to include the foundations?

A total of zero votes were cast for the guy currently running America.

This is why the only thing we need to reform is our house and Senate! We need to vote in better people to work for us in Congress and in the Senate 🤦🏻‍♀️ this is just beyond disgusting 🤮

I Needed To Read Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address Today. You Should Too. On this inauguration day I find myself, once again, reading Abraham Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address, which was delivered 160 years ago this coming March.

At some point today, perhaps around noon, take some time to read Lincoln’s words for yourself. It will do you good. 🗃️ kevinmlevin.substack.com/p/i-needed-t...

I highly recommend the trilogy on MLK and the civil rights struggle written by Taylor Branch: Parting the Waters; Pillar of Fire; and At Canaan's Edge.

Porter! Thanks to Bill Kirchen for introducing me to his song, "The Cold, Hard Facts."

This is a deeply researched book that will tell you what you need to know about why David Crockett made that fateful trip to Texas.

He was a local legend...and not of the good kind.

Lawn sign sighted in western NY state today: "Trump was always right." Jesus...

POS guitar for sure.

From my family Kodachromes, my uncle Don, out looking for trouble. Wellsville, NY, ca. 1955.

Still defiant after all these years.

Umm, your photos show Wellsville, New York.

Thanks! I passed on your remarks, and she was delighted! Looking forward to reading your posts.
