Re: The cranky thread
Funny story. I went to a civil war reenactment with my friends Herb and Wes. I have experience in living history and small reenactments of European conflicts. However, this was my first Civil War reenactment. Anyway, I'd forgotten about a pesky allergy to wool that I had when I was 6 years old. Guess what? you don't outgrow that. Civil War uniforms? Made of wool. Benadryl, the last available hotel room in Pickwick, Tennessee, and a good shower ensured I survived the experience. I viewed the rest of the Battle of Shiloh from the sidelines. Also -- all the mud.
