"Lost In the Clouds..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

To-day I got things done somewhat, and also got attacked by a Confederate reenactor from Maryland who talked about social injustice and manufactured slavery.

And talked to a boy whose great-grandfather had been in the civil war, and got his leg taken off by Confederate soldiers because they were trying to take his boots. And they couldn't get them off. So they pulled his leg off.

And war is always atrocious.

I think the moral of the story is never wear boots.

No, but for real. That's grotesque.

Clearly.

The other thing is that the great-grandfather actually survived. He was unconcious at the time of the boot-thieving, and the pain woke him up and he managed to crawl off the battlefield to safety.
