A few days ago, I had the opportunity — if you call it that — to spend a lot of time driving between court houses, libraries, cemeteries and such in some counties in southeast Georgia. Yeah, genealogy stuff.
Anyway, the outside walking around cemeteries paid off, in that it helped narrow down some stuff, when the info was combined with stuff we got from the court house visits. But, the walking around cemeteries was a little uncomfortable because it was a little hot.
But, I shouldn’t complain. It’s been hotter.
Now, though, sit back and relax. It’s time for Saturday Night Open Thread. Tell a joke, share a link, whatever you like.

Paul McCartney, the first, and,for a long time, the only Beatle to write songs with more than three chords, was born June 18, 1942. It seems like only “Yesterday”.
