The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up.

This is Mom’s favorite house in all of Seattle so she takes me here a lot. It’s named “Chateau Noire” and it has gargoyles, gothic arches, a secret entrance, and twisty chimneys! The owners are super nice and told me I was sweet and pretty so I like it here too.

Aha looking good

Usually I’d say Ned’s Law applies, but they took out the Barry/Sammy/Mark era

Lisa grew up near Wilmington International in North Carolina, an airport where you went to the one ticket counter, walked 20 feet to the one security line, then walked 20 feet to the one gate. Its international passengers were all boxes on FedEx and UPS 😅
