I now get quite a few from China.
Loving the software that now ties them in a bundle for me. Makes it so much easier. Every morning, from 5 to 15, just bundled up and waiting.

Apparently a new spambot network came up in the last week.
‘Making Light’ has been getting hit with lots of spam this week. Sometimes it gets through the filters.
I’m not surprised. THere was a major takedown and here come more cockroaches. There’s that nice new WP widget that collects them for you, with just a couple of buttons. Nice!
I know my own blog gets hit with spam, but the filters are doing a good job.
(Blogging the Civil War, from family papers. They just got to Vicksburg.)
Interesting!
Re: Civil War
I toured Gettysburg with my family. I looked at the ground and thought about it for a couple of minutes, then decided I wasn’t going to be sick after all. The hideous waste!
I found walking the Gettysburg battlefields a very emotionally wrenching experience and know exactly what you mean, Tommie. The humanity lost at Devil’s Den was especially vivid to me, perhaps because its terrain is so individualized, with all the rocks and crags and fissures, that you could easily imagine individual human beings forcing themselves behind that rock or into that cleft right there in their efforts to remain under cover and alive. I found myself saying prayers for their souls, and I don’t count myself a standardly religious person, even all these years after their departure.
Culloden in Scotland is another such place.
Yes, what a slaughter and, contrary to popular mythology, it was primarily Scot against Scot and to some extent, clan against clan.
