A friend of mine who lives in Boston posted this on
his FB page; I think it may have been a share from George Takei, but whatever:
& it reminded me of driving around on the
borderlands between Fairfax & Loudoun Counties in Virginia, back in the
wild days of the mid-90s, before cars had sat-navs & you were lucky to find
some roads marked at all, much less with a name.
It occurred to me at the time that this might be
some strategy left over from The Woah: in case of another Yankee invasion,
while the bluecoats were milling around trying to figure out where the hell
they were, the Confederate forces could group in one of the adjoining fields
& just start picking off the enemy one by one, working from the back to the
front like Sergeant York.
Can’t do that, now, of course—all those country
roads are four-lane highways & the fields are filled with townhouses &
strip malls.
Still not sure who won that war.
