(@nationalparks should post again)
This is actually so cool cause when I lived in Fredericksburg for a year my dad used to take me to a part of this sometimes after school. Where we would go there are train tracks that run through it and I used to love watching the trains go by. There’s also this pyramid thing on the other side of the tracks:
This is one of my favorite childhood memories
Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania, this is America's battleground, where the Civil War roared to its bloody climax. No place more vividly reflects the War's tragic cost in all its forms. A town bombarded and looted. Farms large and small ruined. Refugees by the thousands forced into the countryside. More than 85,000 men wounded; 15,000 killed--most in graves unknown.Photo: "The Bloody Angle in the Spotsylvania Battlefield is a peaceful place today." - NPS Photo
apparently tonight there is an american football game for charity that US congresspeople play in
apparently my insurance rolled over without me realizing it but the guy I talked to on the phone was really nice and now I won’t be wasting so much money 
today and tomorrow I get to pretend like I’m back in school and sit in class for 8 hours
visiting my animal crossing island for the first time in like 3 years
I wonder what I will find
really happy to find that I’ve finally financially recovered from my trip to spain!
what should I blow all of my money on next?
somewhat related but I’ve been at my first desk job which means I can have headphones while working and wow choosing my own background noise makes 40 hours go by so much easier
today I finally realized why I haven’t seen any school buses on the drive into work in a while
I heard this in Tennessee once so it must be true
fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. fool me -- you can't get fooled again.
gotta be one of the sayings of all time
