Watched some of it. Very interesting. I was educated by it and have
even more respect for my forebears than I did before. I believe they
said that the women on the Mayflower stayed on board for *two months*
while their men made the place habitable. I don't know who suffered
worse!

When I think of what our colonial forebears went through, it just
makes me want to smack a kid who whines about having to take out the
garbage or mow the lawn :-)
