What was important to me, and the history Professor got this across, was that even the most mundane of lives is important to understanding history.

Last century in a history class I read a book for it that fascinated me because it was about a citizen in a town, not a politician, royalty,military, revolutionary, or even a high class merchant. Just someone living their life.

I *thought* the title was "A life in Flanders" but search has failed me. Maybe that's the wrong title, maybe even the wrong region.

Just watched an episode of "The Rockford Files". Wife got sucked into watching it too. Really good episode with Gretchen Corbett as Beth Davenport and John Saxon guest starring.

Spouse said she missed basic fist fights on TV shows.

Older TV shows are now interesting to me as historical video documents of clothing, transportation, and communication now.

Would have clicked the mastodon instead of the bird for this article about how reconstruction history was diminished to point of almost erasure in this Teen Vogue article. But there wasn't one.
