A couple days ago I watched a movie titled Liberal Arts. I liked it.

Then, last night I watched another one, titled No Country For Old Men. I'd watched it before,  a year or so ago. And I read the book. Liked it too. Of course, it was written by Cormac McCarthy so what's to not like?

(Can't think of anything else I want to write about)

HISTORICAL EVENT

On this day in 1865 Confederate General Robert E. Lee surrendered his army to Union General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. They met at a house in Appomattox at 2:00 p.m. on the afternoon of April 9. Lee was resplendent in his dress uniform and a fine sword at his side. Grant arrived wearing a simple soldier's coat that was muddy from his long ride.

Although there were still Confederate armies in the field, the war was officially over. Four years of bloodshed had left a devastating mark on the country: 360,000 Union and 260,000 Confederate soldiers had perished during the Civil War.
