I took my own advice yesterday and stayed away from political news. We binge watched the first half of Season 4 of Billions instead. The one in which Axe and Chuck are unlikely allies but I digress.
That’s why I was so tickled when this tweet from a New Orleans writer was the first thing I saw this morning upon glancing at the tweeter tube:
"The Continental Army suffered a bitter winter of Valley Forge, found glory across the waters of the Delaware and seized victory from Cornwallis of Yorktown. Our Army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over airports."

Cornwallis of Yorktown? He was local? Who knew?
Rammed the ramparts? Say what? I didn’t know the Cleveland/Los Angeles/St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams existed then.
Airports? I wonder if George Washington had a private jet or flew himself in a prop plane?
Questions, questions, questions. All I’ve got are questions.
The last word goes to Frank Sinatra:
It must have been the “midnight flight of Paul Revere” then, huh?
