Hatched ca. 1832–the same year Lincoln first ran for IL House of Representatives!

@RBrookhiser Probably because a lot of people move there from all over the country, including those who aren’t used to significant snowfall. So they clear out the stores out of panic.
English
Puzzling.

@RBrookhiser I lived in Silver Spring, Maryland for about 18 months when I attended graduate school at CUA. A friend told me that Beltway residents will clean out supermarkets and stock up if any snow is predicted. Snow can't be a rarity there like in Texas.

On October 3, 1863, President Lincoln issued a proclamation designating “the last Thursday of November next, as a day of Thanksgiving.” Lincoln’s announcement marked the culmination of a multi-decade campaign by Sarah Josepha Hale to make Thanksgiving into a national holiday.

This morning, Mom and I had to say goodbye to our beloved diva Pearl. She had been struggling with cancer (a huge mast cell tumor) most of this year and it finally spread bad enough that she couldn't fight any longer.

A 7-year-study of 70,000 elderly people from 19 towns in Japan has found that the more public library books there are in a town, the fewer residents need long-term nursing care.

@liz_july4th @RBrookhiser It was near Maysville, fought on the bank of the Ohio River outside of a town called Dover.

My favorite site is probably the one I’m at at the moment.
But the John Rankin House in Ripley OH is very evocative at night.

@bosskingkool @RBrookhiser Colonel Metcalfe commanded USA troops who arrested the pro-Confederate, who was sent to a Union prison without charges or trial. He felt he had been unjustly treated (and honor impugned), so it was a bit of both—the Civil War and bruised honor.
English
@RBrookhiser Was it the Civil War basically a duel for honor?
English
@RBrookhiser The Union colonel, Thomas Metcalfe (a son of a Kentucky governor). He said “I shall shoot him through the left breast pocket,” and he did.
English
@RBrookhiser My last book was about a duel fought near Maysville in 1862 between a Union colonel and a pro-Confederate civilian. Rifles at 60 yards!
English
@RBrookhiser Maysville, KY, across the Ohio River from Ripley, is a great town, too.
