We're in Augusta, Georgia, right now after staying up way too late last night at the local Hooters watching the Bulls win and Blackhawks loss. I hate 8:30 p.m., 9:30 here, starts to Hawks games. Way too late. At least this wasn't a triple overtime game like Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
I may have to stop calling the Bulls' Rose as Wilted Rose, as use his real name if he keeps playing like he has.
Any way, Augusta (even after the Master's last week, has a bit of a naval tradition. I read this morning that it was established along the Savannah River where navigation ends, There is also a canal in the town and during the Civil War, a large powder works.
After the fall of Savannah, several Confederate gunboats came upriver to escape Sherman, and the Confederate treasury and archives came here before rendezvousing with Davis at Abbeville, S.C... These were escorted by midshipmen of the CSNA and Charlotte (N.C.) Navy Yard workers.
