My father was a Civil War buff and he passed that passion down to his son. Growing up where we did, my father and I could give a tour of the Gettysburg Battlefield which put the National Park Service to shame. One of things my dad and I shared were books related to the Civil War. One of our favorite books was “The Killer Angels” by Michael Shaara, which was turned into a movie in 1993.

What a horribly disappointing ending to today's @NASCAR race after a very promising start. The only downside to #NASCAR races taking so long is you invest the time in watching and then the ending just royally sucks. ;)
