BATTLE OF RICHMOND!

The time has come for the 150th Battle of Richmond re-enactment weekend. I mean I understood was the event was -- people dressing up and pretending to kill each other. But I think the thought process of there will be guns and canons didn't cross my mind.

Me being the not gun friendly person that I am. Guns are for police and bad people use them. I've ever only used a water and BB gun. Needless to say every EVERY bam. boom. pop. WHAM!. had me startled. It was also super hot and I now have an awkward sun tan line on my feet from my shoes.

Here are my photos please in enjoy and read Bill's story here
