Witches Brew and history

This weekend in Bay City is the annual River of Time. It takes place on the Saginaw River and features Civil War re-inactments. Cool for people that are into it — and entertaining for me. And Erin. Today, we saw some Civil War soldiers while walking downtown. They shot off their gun and frightened us. Read about the River of time, here.

But what is most entertaining is this email I received I today. Enjoy:

"iam a 29 yr old guy who loves history. i love the river of time down at the river i live to blocks from there one thing is that i would love to reenact in it just for the weekend but there isnt enought ifo out the on how to do that and on top of that me and a friend are collecters of ww2 german nazi stuff we are not nazi and dont belive in what they did but we do bleive that part of history need to be kept alive for the younger people and we were talking bout dressing up and going do there as ww2 german soilders but dont know what people would think of it or how to go about doing that any ifo would help and what ur take on reenacting as ww2 german soilders down at the river of time what do you think people would say or do it a part of history that should be showing there"

It's verbatim. More blogging coming tomorrow!

P.S. Erin came up here this weekend and we enjoyed Witches Brew wine tonight. It's spicy and they recommend heating it up before consuming. I. Love. Fall. Goodnight!
