things I really, really did not need to know about

I think it was the scrumptious girl in uniform in slide 11 that did me in or possibly this:

Some of the re-enactors eschewed weapons altogether. Over at the press hut, a crew of “war correspondents” had set up a period darkroom, developing black-and-white photos shot with an array of old-school cameras, aiming for prints that looked like they’d fallen out of a 1944 time capsule.

And the dance. Of course.

Ahhhhh.

You know what's good? That I don't drive. Because if I drove? I'd _always_ be running around to things like this.

(also, it's a really nice article in that it both _gets_ why people do this stuff and the rather legitimate and murky issues that can and do surround it).

Do you Lindy Hop?

Really badly. One of the "projects" for this summer, since we'll actually have Patty in town, is to do lots and lots of the outdoor dance stuff and hopefully fix that (couple dancing sort of stresses me out, absurdly, so it's waaaay easier for me to fix my skills dancing with her than pretty much any other humans).
