I still probably spend more time each week on the Symba, but I go farther on the Kymco.<br /><br />I have similar wonderings as you mention when I pass abandoned homesteads out in the country, or when I see derelict houses here in the City. I wonder about the people who lived there and their dreams, and I wonder what stories their walls hold.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-61546986498239331112012-10-17T20:33:22.687-05:002012-10-17T20:33:22.687-05:00Richard, I think you got it.

He didn't mention it and I didn't ask.<br /><br />I can't say I'm a Civil War buff either, but it is all around me here. There is a ballot initiative this election cycle to return oversight of the St. Louis Police Department back to the City. It was taken over by the State in 1860 to prevent the police from being utilized by Union sympathizers. Missouri had divisions in both the Union and the Confederate Armies. Here it was really brother against brother.<br /><br />Like you, I'm mostly just interested in history. I love stopping at the historical markers.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-20823632636860795062012-10-17T20:16:19.888-05:002012-10-17T20:16:19.888-05:00Roger, you may be right about him being a bit lost...Roger, you may be right about him being a bit lost and easily influenced. Then again, maybe he was a little more intense than his brother. I certainly enjoyed our conversation...or monolog, but I suspect I wouldn't want him for a riding partner.<br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-68067265185641684752012-10-17T20:13:41.335-05:002012-10-17T20:13:41.335-05:00This site hasn't been farmed and one of the ri...This site hasn't been farmed and one of the rife pits was turned into a mass grave for those who died in the battle. That kept the site safe. The interpretive center is small but does a good job of orienting one to the area. The area is an old mining area. I turned eleven when the Centennial of the Civil War was going on. It was everywhere I turned. I had a scrapbook of articles, calendar painting reproduction, and photos from magazine's like Life. Oddly, this is the first Civil War site I've ever visited...well, not counting Norfolk, but there I'm visiting my daughter.<br />~k Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-10657636505929428052012-10-17T20:04:58.189-05:002012-10-17T20:04:58.189-05:00Actually, he really likes riding horses.

I suspect he doesn't have hobbies, he has passions. I saw your Kymco over at Mike's.

Interesting battlefield. I still wonder how they know those were the actual earthworks.
