While he was a terrible battlefield commander, he was an extremely talented organizer and logistician. Basically built the foundations of the Union army that won the war from nothing.

I don't know, now that prices are down maybe we could set up a vendor nearby and let people throw eggs at it?

Did that just seem to happen overnight? When I went shopping this week they were way lower than previous weeks

sure seemed that way. It was probably one of those things where a real supply shock (avian flu in some parts of the country) lead to panic buying and then just as quickly a drop off in sales so supply and prices could go back to normal.

Meade is buried up on Ridge Avenue.

Meade was not a terrible commander. He was just such a dour man that when Grant was promoted above him, few thought of it as a bad thing.
