The Battle for Guadalcanal

Excellent read at the link. This guy, Patrick Chovanec, traveled to Guadalcanal recently. Here is a monumental tweetstorm – 350+ tweets! - where he recounts the entire campaign, illustrated with contemporary photos, clips from movies about the battle, and present day photos he took on his trip. He does an outstanding job of telling the story by weaving the three together. As an aside, what an epic trip! I'd love to do that some day.

Speaking of selling things on Craigslist, anybody know anyone in the mid-Atlantic that wants to by an RV? I just inherited a second RV from my mother-in-law, and since I have no space or use for two, I'm selling mine. Only 50K miles on a Ford E-350 engine, I'm asking 8K. Send an email to my nic at gee, mail! If you do.
