a nice Christmas present for America

The first battle of Gettysburg, from July 1 to July 3, 1863, ended with a murderous barrage of cannon fire that killed tens of thousands of American soldiers and changed the course of the Civil War.

The most recent battle of Gettysburg ended yesterday with raucous applause and a standing ovation at a small tavern that was once occupied by Confederate sharpshooters.

it's good to know people value this place enough to fight for it. i've only been to Gettysburg once (and in a rush, unfortunately), and even then my impression was that it's the most touristy of all the battlefields i've visited, but it's touristy in its own vein, not by way of roller coasters and waterslides ~ and i'll take that any day over the latter.

last night i worked on my brother's gallery. it's coming out rather boss patois (if i might say so myself). i'm hoping to upload it before Christmas. fingers crossed.

building the rest of the site is going to be slow for a while. i'm having a brain-bending over how to get my nucleus templates to work with my design templates. not sure that's going to work out, but that's okay. there are other solutions.

happy thursday everyone ~ are you all ready for the holiday?
