I'm not a huge Civil War buff and have ridden past some
of the major sites without calling for a pullover. Did

That era is a lot more fascinating to me. The politics of it are still
on going here in NC tho; over issues and battles long fought.

I contend that the south won that war.

My southern-born (MS), southern-living (VA/TN) brother (Rob) would agree
with you there... ;) (He might, although it's unlikely still, show up
for some part of this year's picnic, depending on how his schedule falls
into or out of place... [g])

Mom bought margerine for years, usually the A&P or Victory store brand.
She made the switch to butter after all of us left home, after trying to change when she first started working. At that time we were young enough that our taste buds wanted something familiar so she went back to
margerine. Don't recall how many of us kids preferred it to butter, but
with 5 kids, she deferred to the taste buds of the majority.

There were many reasons for choosing margarine.
Most of them were bad reasons.

Indeed. My parents also used margarine while we were growing up... I'm
pretty sure it was purely because what Daddy was getting was less
expensive than butter... It was yet another of their cost-cuttings that
I never was able to accustom my tastebuds to.... :)
