1000th Post

We’d like to take the occasion of the 1000th post here at UT to take a look back at the 250 year history of our country. We will continue looking at aspects of US history leading up the July 4th celebration. Today we’re taking a look at the “George Washington slept here” signs you see in the northeast US. Some of these signs need some clarification:

  • Was it just him? Didn’t Martha travel with him sometimes?
  • How many nights did he stay there? Put that on the sign.
  • Did he leave a review?
  • Did he get the AAA discount?
  • Do they sneak the name “Carver” in small letters after “Washington” on the sign?
  • How do you define the word “slept”. Can they put the sign up if it was just a nap?

You’ll be walking on peanut shells awaiting these and other answers.
