Me too, snail

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

I found the picture of that cake on a website detailing a celebration of the actual General Meade’s birthday which as you know is December 31. I don’t know if they have an annual thing or if it was a landmark anniversary but yeah yay Google.MajGenl.Meade wrote: ↑Sun Dec 24, 2023 7:26 pmThank you!

BSG, may have been from the General Meade Society in Philly to which I once belonged.
This year:
I tried to visit the Society one Christmas season, leaving Mrs. Meade at the hotel in Bethlehem (PA). Got a bit lost in downtown Phila. and found myself in an area of town patrolled by chaps with AK47s and other hardware - or they were just out shopping or going for a walk. Hard to tell. But they stared at me so long and hard as I circled blocks and drove slowly back and forth (pre GPS) that I found my way back to the main drag and hightailed it north back to Bethlehem.Annual General Meade Birthday Celebration

Annual General Meade Birthday Celebration will mark the 208th annual anniversary of the birth of General George G. Meade, heroic commander of the victorious Union army at the Battle of Gettysburg. The General Meade Society of Philadelphia will celebrate his birthday at Historic Laurel Hill Cemetery, 3822 Ridge Ave. at noon. A champagne toast and reception will follow the program. For directions, call: 215-228-8200 Laurel Hill Cemetery.

I suspect they found me more suspicious than I them.
I left the Society because they did not find my Secret Letters of George Gordon Meade as amusing as did my fellow members of the Cleveland CW Round Table.

Yes it was that society in Philly! Small world. Here’s the link I found the photo at. Just now found another one that’s better so I’ll share that too.

Yeah, small. I'm a CWTalk guy as well. Past and current. I think I'm only a corporal there. Don't post as often as I once did. Also dropped out there for a while - got irrationally ticked off when they allowed an alternative answer to one of my trivia questions (a wrong answer but they excused it because "the people who gave that answer didn't realize it was wrong"). What kind of excuse is that?
Anyway, I got over my snit - must have been channeling Meade, the Old Snapping Turtle.
