Flashpoint

My charmers and I were in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina, today. Took a ferry to the site upon which initial shots fired on April 12, 1861, sparked the American Civil War.

I thought I heard something about a cannon being fired by "accident" there. I should have known you were visiting. :)

Doesn't look that pld, somehow -- except for the cannon that is. Must be a fascinating place.

It was so tempting, Charles. Don't judge me! You know you would have done the same damn thing.

Dave, Its held together remarkably well considering its bombastic (pretty sad pun, huh?) history.

Love Charleston. Wish I was at the Spoletto Festival right now.

I've barely dipped my toe in South Carolina. Need to spend more time there.
