Why was the ground all wet and sticky after the Battle of the Little Bighorn?

Because the Indians kept coming and coming and coming.

Attachment 68192

opens for business in Rogers, Arkansas.

My kids are related to that guy...

That's neat.

Very Cool.

I suppose. I'm one of those people who finds genealogy just infuriatingly boring. Feels like an unpleasant combination of reducing my accomplishments and taking credit for other people's.

Highly accomplished ancestors make you look like a failure, you didn't measure up. You didn't found a great corporation, you didn't find the biggest gold field in Nevada, you didn't find a cure for the common cold then give the patent rights to the world. :lol:

...you didn't get lost in your most high profile navigation gig. :) Still a neat connection, my girls are very pro Amelia.

Amelia was certainly a feisty broad. I read about all the things she accomplished and some about how she lived, but I wonder how much opposition she faced. Maybe she was so larger than life and had so many fans, maybe that intimidated her opponents?

Is that the same as saying "related on their mother's side?"

Related on their father's side, yes. I'm only related by marriage--I guess I could have said my husband's related to that guy instead of my kids, but he's not big into genealogy either. ;)

Growing up, did any of them play with toy airplanes on a treadmill?
