Its warming up, spring must be around the corner… right. Getting a start, to day I had an organizational meeting for tennis this spring. It will be interesting to see how we do this year.
Worked on the school sports website and finished up on the pop out menu for the schedule menu. Had a little trouble getting it to work in the old EI browsers, but after a Google, shazam, up and running. Tomorrow I will try and make it a little prettier.
Worked on the guitar and piano. I figured out why the guitar sounded weird yesterday, it helps when you tune the strings to the right note. Fingers are still sore. I am looking forward to not writing that. They are better.
Listening to a book on the time of Lincoln and the civil war. Some real interesting tidbits. Lincoln was not on the ballot in seven or nine states. The authors thought was the reason Lincoln was able to get elected was the opposition vote was split between three opponents.
Every state sent military units to fight for the North except South Carolina. South Carolinians had to go to North Carolina to enlist with a unit from that state.
The battle at Fort Sumter was not really a battle. Both sides just lobed shells at each other. The shells just bounced off the walls of the fort. The cannon balls rolled on the beach on the Southern side. The North actually surrendered about three times. One guy, sort of described as a looser, had a slave row him over to the fort and the North surrendered to him, one guy. While he was being rowed back another delegation from the South rowed up. They were upset when they heard that there had already been a surrender. So the decision was to go back and they fought for a little while longer and then the real surrender happened. The only real damage was from an errant shell that made it over the fort wall and started a fire.
