I wish it would start getting consistently sunny. I would really love to add "laying in hammock and getting some color on legs" to my to-do list.
*Colonel Ellsworth is considered the first true casualty of the Civil War. To Mechanicville and the surrounding area he's a big hero, but how he died is actually kind of dumb, IMO. Apparently, there was a big Confederate flag flying above an inn in Virginia, clearly visible from across the Potomac at the White House. Rather than have his president offended by the sight of the rebel flag, Ellsworth took his infantry regiment (mostly made up of volunteer firemen from New York City) and went to capture Alexandria. This went uncontested until Ellsworth tried to leave the inn with the flag, whereupon the owner appeared and shot him in the chest, only to be immediately shot down in return by the corporal accompanying Ellsworth.
