You still riding the short bus, Jerry? I think you're seriously humor challenged...somehow I don't think it was either an ice cream parlor or a McDonalds (even though it may be now).

WMD

This is my great great grandfather's Harpers Ferry muzzle loading long rifle from the Civil War. My bro passed it on to my son last year. He fought in the Union army, Company K, 93rd Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers; wounded at the battle of Fair Oaks near Richmond in May 1862.

Now we're talking history I can relate to. Harper's Ferry. Been there a couple times.



Ops, that's that the back of a nickle. Oh, well, I've been too. In fact, either one would make a really neat S2000 meet.

The back of the nickel is the Rotunda at the University of Virginia. Unless they moved it, you had to be in Charlottesville to be there.
