This guy was explaining in great gory detail about how he as a doctor would use this operating table and tools to cut the leg off a wounded soldier... "and I would use this here saw to cut the bone, and this here to file off the rough edges, and then cauterize any arteries or blood vessels that I didn't tie off..." Yeah, I kinda didn't listen so close after that, but it was really interesting.

There were some Civil War re-enactment groups that got together for a campout this weekend at Knotts Berry Farm. We took the two youngest boys (Kevin had his own campout with the Scouts) and walked around.
