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.
