Come to think of it, it looks like he's moving relative to the carrier at *roughly* the same speed the carrier is moving relative to the land. You can see that as he makes his turn and runs "backwards," he's just about standing still relative to a fixed point.

From the point of view of a physicist, the interesting thing here is seeing how his jogging speed compares to the speed of the ship. You can see how far the ship has moved during each loop he made around the deck. 1/2

@RolandGunnTN I moved here a few years ago & still haven't quite figured them out. There's a lot of complexity to their culture, and it's not all easy to classify. A lot of the state fits into the Southern category easily, but not all. I think they're a transition point on the Appalachians.

@JayRock_QueenCi Yeah, all seems pretty right on. Don’t know why they need to act snide about it. So…he retconned Southerners to have us think we believed we were in the right, eh? As if we *didn’t* think we were in the right in 1861!

Not sure if the purpose of this placard was intended to be a stab at the Confederacy; but just based on the information listed on it, Pollard’s “Lost Cause” interpretation of The War seems pretty spot on
