How about a new caption contest? I haven’t given any books away for a little while. So let’s have a little fun. We did this caption contest a few months ago and it was fun. That was because you all are so imaginative and witty. You came up with fun or wise words to put in the mouths of the …

To put that a little in perspective, I looked back into history. Of course, 1812 was when the United States fought the War of 1812. It’s also when Louisiana became the 18th state. …
