November 20th
A day for the Civil War, well, in the morning at least. Drove the short distance from Hagerstown to Sharpsburg, Maryland, and the Antietam Battlefield. Went first to Sharpsburg (the South referred to the fight as the Battle of Sharpsburg, in the North, it was the Battle of Antietam (after the creek that ran through the site).
I wanted to have breakfast in the town so drove the main street both ways looking for a little restaurant, but, other than two bars, which weren't open at 9 AM, there was nothing. There weren't but a few little stores either. The town itself consisted of homes that looked straight out of the 1860s and the town stretched only a few blocks off main street.
I finally found a place called the Battle View Market, between the town and the national park which served food and got an omelet, so-so at best. They also had a small grocery section and sold dug bullets from the area.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
