On this day in 1770, the Boston Massacre....

 

The British soldiers were put on trial, and patriots John Adams and Josiah Quincy agreed to defend the soldiers in a show of support of the colonial justice system. When the trial ended in December 1770, two British soldiers were found guilty of manslaughter and had their thumbs branded with an “M” for murder as punishment.

Anyone ever amazed at how much women can talk? These two women next to me have been talking non stop for over an hour. Literally maybe 5-10 seconds of total downtime. I don't think I've said this many words this month. The way they segue from one topic to the next is amazing.

My grandkids have this knack of talking to their cousins, all at the same time, and nobody seams to have any problems following the conversation, and my head just spins. :)

Probably a long shot but if anyone has a place to rent in the BMore area or knows someone who does, shoot me a PM.


Thanks.
