How do you find so much stupid crap that you almost totally fill this entire space that is meant for everyone?

Darn! You've discovered my plan. I thought I could take over this site so no one else would be able to post. I guess I'll have to go to plan B.

Why green? Many of the soldiers wore green boughs in their caps while celebrating the holiday and some, like the Green Mountain Rangers (a.k.a. Green Mountain Boys), had green coats. The association between green and the troops, and the ready availability of green decorative materials and fabrics made it the color of choice early on.
