You Might Be a Civil War Reenactor - IF

-If your $20,000 car sits out in the weather so your $200 tent can stay in the garage...you might be a reenactor
-If you drive by some open land and think, "What a great place for a Battle!"...
-If most of the clothes you own went out of style over 135 years ago...
-If you've made a vehicle purchase decision based on how well it can accomodate your tent poles...
-If you've ever uttered the phrase, "only 68 more days til our next event"...
-If sleeping in a leaky tent in the rain and mud is your idea of a fun Saturday night...
-If you've ever worn wool when the temperature tops 100 repeatedly...
-If there are half-completed sewing projects decorating your furniture...
-If you've ever made a career decision based on its impact on your reenacting weekends...
-If your friends refuse to attend any historic movie dramas with you...
-If you can spot 100% wool at 30 yards...
-If your kids can correct their history teachers...
-If your mailman is confused as to what rank you hold in the reserves...
-If you have been asked at a gas station if you're Amish...
-If your birthday and Christmas list reads like a quartermaster's request for supplies...
-If you believe that your brogans are the most comfortable shoes that you own...you might be a reenactor.
