    When you asked about which of your videos make me click on them, I think I really like hearing the banter between you and your wife between the history stuff. She adds the flavor to the sauce. 😉 Shout out to her for being naturally entertaining.
    Also, beautiful creek! Next time I am in Alabama, I need to do more eco tourism.
