Quinctilius Varus, WHERE ARE MY EAGLES?
The 2000th anniversary of the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest is upon us.
(The backstory in this dramatization starts at about 7 minutes here.)
(And thanks to Jeff at Quid plura? for the heads-up, back in April or thereabouts.)

About Me
- Laura(southernxyl)
- e-mail me southernxyl at hotmail dot com I am Laura, southernxyl. Where does "southernxyl" come from? First of all, I am from Mississippi and I've lived in the South since I graduated from college. When I was a kid my brother was a ham radio operator. I learned some of the shorthand expressions hams used to save tapping that key. One was "yl", for "young lady" (girl) and one was "xyl" for "ex-young lady" (woman). So I am a southern ex-young lady. I live with R, my husband of 26 years, and two cats.

Thanks Laura. That was very kind of you.
I can't stand people whose only contribution is to be ugly.
