Hi everyone - I am rebooting my YouTube channel! Its theme is historic architecture. My first video is a quick overview of millwork catalogs, which isn't everyone's interest but lays some groundwork for the analysis of historic houses I will show in upcoming videos.

If you have a free 20 minutes, you can click the link below - if you are feel free to subscribe, like, or post a reply, that will help my channel with YouTube. Thank you so much!

Here is the link:

Thank you guys very much! I have dabbled around at OC for 18 years now, and I hope that I have brought some constructive and positive energy/information to the site.

BrentinCO is one of my favorite new friends at OC. I appreciate the thoughtfulness of your postings and the way that you sometimes find areas of agreement with people from other parts of the political spectrum. Being a Christian doesn't require us to fall in line with a political party regardless of what it does.

IndyGeorgia is one of my older friends here at OC. When I decided it was time to return to OC after a break, I believe that it was IndyGeorgia who restored my access (sorry if it was someone else and my mind is playing tricks on me here). I value your time at OC and the number of races you have entered here.

We all owe a debt of gratitude to RP for his work at OC. He has been receptive to a lot of kooky ideas that I have produced, and he has devoted a great deal of his life to enhancing the OC experience. One of my greatest regrets is that when RP needed a break from OC about a decade ago, I didn't defend him adequately when some users made unnecessarily negative comments about him.

I can't forget to mention my grief in the recent passing of Thomas Walker. Up to this point, I believe that I have met three people at OC, including Thomas. We are all at a loss that Thomas was unable to complete his biography of Alton Parker, the 1904 Democratic nominee for US President. I don't know what happened to all his Parker research.

Now that I'm 55, I have reached the point where I don't need to agree with someone on every topic in order to be friends with the person. In fact, I have let go of a lot of opinions that I formerly held (I still don't like alcohol or guns though).

I have been teaching the historic preservation course at Rowan University in Glassboro NJ the past two spring sessions, which takes a lot of my time away from OC. I really love teaching there, which is reflected by some students but not others who seem to regret taking the course. I often work in little tidbits about political history and find it shocking that the students (some of whom are history students) don't know basic things about political history --> but this points to the importance of OC in making this information available for people!

Well since Mr. Politics clicked the above posting, I might share a little about him. I don't know him that well but I have appreciated his comments over time. Back in the day Mr. Politics posted some things about George W Bush that I found balanced at that time - it's easier to like Bush today than in 2008. As most of you know, I registered as a Republican in the middle of the last decade so I could vote for Kasich in the presidential primary.

Also I am sure for Mr. Politics that it is nice to live in a time in which Republicans perform well in state elections, compared to the 1970s and 1980s when the state was pretty heavily Democratic except on the presidential level. I grew up as a Republican in North Carolina [my family was Republican there from the 1870s, long before Goldwater]. During my early years, the GOP consistently lost most NC elections so I have some sympathy for Mr. Politics's situation.

WA Indy is another long-timer here at OC. I still think of him as GeminiDKH because that was his name a long time ago when I first became aware of his posts. On occasion he posts something with just enough sarcasm to make me laugh out loud. He is able to quickly identify people whose posts aren't well thought out, and he wisely steps out of those discussions earlier than I do. His political positions are not that far off where I am currently.

Yes, Benjamin Lay was quite a character!

The rule about tombstones was loosened in the 1830s and later dropped altogether. Thereafter, the more traditional Quakers (like my group) have smaller markers than what other denominations use.

Very interesting. Thanks for responding so quickly. I'm adding Rediker's book on Lay to my reading list.

Hey I am thinking of starting a YouTube series on the presidential elections, with an introductory episode in the coming days and then a weekly episode on the elections. I am thinking of doing them in order beginning in 1789. I am looking at a livestream, so if anyone is able to join you can ask questions or add your perspective. More info to come as I prepare the intro materials.

Okay I have set up the first livestream for tomorrow (5/21) at 7pm Eastern.

The first one will be an introduction to U.S. presidential elections but has the title of the history of election day.

Feel free to join if you are available, or you can watch it later. Here is the link:
