Hardtack and Havoc

A private of the 1st Texas Volunteer Infantry Civil War Reenactor with a day job in Uncle Sugar's Navy trapped in the unholy land of New England...I wish I was still in Iraq.

Gotta Getta Fix

Hello, my name is Ed and I am a Civil War Reenactor. It has been six months since my last reenacment...AND I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!!!!!Must...wear wool... and shoot...damn...yankees...can't resist any longer. My Pards from Texas will be portraying Yankees at the Battle of Corinth in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, I can't go cuz I gotta close out the Fiscal Year on my Life Sucking Black Pigs. Statistically speaking at least 1.8 of my submarines will SCREW IT UP no matter what I do. I really wish I could make it cuz I truly miss my messmates from Texas. Also, it is fun to be a Yankee. You can act rude, scare children, abuse women, property and livestock. When we were stationed in old Virginny I could pretty much count on at least one reenactment per month but since we moved to Connecticut...NOTHIN'. I have only made two, 140th Franklin and 140th Appomattox, since we were station in the heart of Yankee land. The new 2006/1861 season starts in January and I have high hopes for 145th Manassas but haven't seen much online yet. I can't believe that the usual cast of profiteering organizers are gonna pass that one up. Except for it being about a gazzillion degrees and wearing 100% wool the 140th First Manassas was a great time! I don't think I can hold out until then. I am giving serious consideration to just driving on down to the Shenandoah Valley to take part in the annual Cedar Creek Reenactment. Gotta getta fix.

P.S. Ain't you feeling a uncontrollable craving for some Cub Scout Popcorn. I know you are! I can help with that. Just log on to www.orderpopcorn.com and input the code: TE6T8F. Spend lots of Money!!!

I miss Virginia, too. They're building the new dentist clinic next to where I work on base; two weeks ago a truck coming through plowed right into my car, totaling it. So I had to run out and buy something new.

I didn't bother asking the lady at the DMV whether or not CT had the special Sons of Confederate Veterans license plate. I tried working up the nerve to, but I wouldn't have kept a straight face.
