    Re: Co. D, 32nd Iowa...

    Cherry Bounce............There was Cherry Bounce?

    He said "Cheery" nor "Cherry." I recall that moment distinctly, and though doing my best to make the most of being OoG before early dawn, I don't think I'd use "cheery" for my disposition.

    Sergt. Heath, you know me better than that. I was on duty. I wouldn't have been drinking.

      Jim,

      So, now we have a hint as to the location of the missing funnel, too. This gets better and better all the time.

            And in other news I have the worst case of chiggers I have ever had in my life. Its like they knew I was a New England Yankee and conducted a massed two pronged assault.

                Well, Johnny,
                The bugs haven't touched me at all. Maybe they don't like the taste of the Old Bay seasoning the comes out of the pores of all native sons of the Eastern Shore. Or else my socks were just too nasty for them to deal with. Hard to say, but may be an argument for never washing one's socks...

                    There may have been chiggers there Frank, but nothing like the great chigger assault at Vicksburg last year. Maybe the Missouri chiggers are a bit more playful than their Mississippi bretheren after all.

                      Yeah, but those Mo-state Chiggers sure gave me the Chigger POX, I am healing nicely now. At least I don't have to bath in caladrly lotion as offen. It gives me some thought what the real soldiers of the ACW (AOP) when through on the road to Richmond, " a great seech army of wood ticks and chiigers invaded our camp". Dealing with that for 4 years.

                          Skip,

                          Yes! You are "Lt. Coffee." Thank you for taking care of the boys in "needacuppajoe" land. I set a kettle of coffee by the road Saturday night, and a number of perplexed fellows would stop, scratch their heads at which kettle was coffee vs several other vile substances, and then they'd get a cup of something hot, brown, and still steaming. That seemed to work well.

                          Funny how that 18" path became a "road" by Saturday evening....

                            yes the lil trail we started on Thur Night ended up being a full up "road" on sunday am.. I had a feeling that given a small federal BN and about 2-3 times running around the path it would turn into a road. Interesting to think tha 70ish soldiers put that much of a hurtin on the land, now take a 30,000 man army.. Geesh!

                            Cheers.. and ill take Lt Coffee as a good nick name anyday.. its a officers job to look out for the men, even if its just a cup of "brown steamy water" ha ha..

                              That is a good nick name. Better than "The Coffee Jonah" which I almost earned when I almost stepped in the coffee pot on Saturday morning. Mr. Heath I'm very happy the rope you produced to hang myself with should I have knocked it over was not needed.:confused_
