I dunno why, but hipsters annoy the hell out of me. I think they're trying way to hard to be perceived as cool. If you have to be that obvious and try that hard, you ain't cool. Whatever.
I stopped in Gettysburg on my way home from driving my mom's carback from Arizona about 12 or 13 years ago. It was about 85 degrees and very humid, much like conditions were during the battle and I was thankful to be wearing shorts and a T-shirt, instead of the heavy wool uniforms the soldiers would have worn. I parked the car and hiked around and made my way to Little Round Top (where else would a Maine girl go at Gettysburg?) and found where the 20th Maine and Joshua Chamberlain made their stand. During my wanderings that day, I came across several areas that made the hair stand up on the back of my neck for no apparent reason. That battleground is known to be haunted as heck, by the way.
