Two cigars for Armistead

[Rob9641]

Somebody left old Lo two unsmoked cigars at his marker at the Angle. I wonder why cigars, and why two of them? I don't know of any significance. Does anybody?

Maybe that's just all the person who left them had on him.

Probably one for him and one for Hancock. Reading Killer Angels and watching Gettysburg will do that to you.

I'm guessing it wasn't Pam who left them.

Nope. I'm just the one who knocks down the rope around the monument all the time. I don't usually leave anything behind.

So it's YOU!

Well, that silly rope gets in my way--my arms aren't long enough to give Lo the pat he deserves if I stand outside the rope! And I can't risk bad luck, for me or Nate.

If it weren't for the rope, the earth around the marker would be totally devoid of grass. It just won't grow there. They reseed it all the time and put up the rope and hope for the best. The grass will grow (I've seen green grass there) but then it just dies back. That little plot is just too raised up and the water runs right off. Sorry, Lo.
