Pretty neat stuff.
I've visited the Samuel Mudd House. Very fascinating stuff. Quite a legacy too. I remember my mother telling me: "If you do [that], your name is going to be mud!"
Exactly! This was an AMC movie. I like how they always talk about the history and the characters. This was one of the things mentioned. I did not know that this is where we got the phrase, "your name is Mud"!
