Okay, OT, but we are almost at 100.

When we were at Valley Forge, one of the displays mentioned that when they first opened George Washington’s HQ at Valley Forge as a tourist attraction, they depicted Martha Washington as having a separate bedroom from her husband, because, you know, you wouldn’t want to insinuate that George and Martha did, you know, the kind of things that married people do.

The house has four rooms (not counting kitchen or garret). The downstairs two rooms were offices, leaving two bedrooms. Did they show the other officers as not living there, or did they show George as sharing a room with another officer? Maybe they were all in the garret? (right now it shows that one slept there.)

History amuses me.

God forbid the Father of His Country should be thought to have had sex with his wife.
