And it goes east

Am I.  The only one  who sees the irony in defending Bobby Lee by defining 
the course of the  Susquehanna?

>>I was in Fargo a few years ago in a small building  that had only one 
conference room.
>>So when one side had to present  their case the other side had to go out 
back and sit at a picknik  table.
>>It wasn't bad. We are sitting in July on the banks of the  Red River 
(obviously not the Texas/Oklahoma one) watching the folks swim on  the Minnesota 
side. At that point, the Red River flows south to north as it is  in the 
Hudson Bay watershed (as are the Tetons). It turned out to be a  pleasant 
afternoon. The point is that the locals (as all of we locals are want  when out 
of towners are around) were more than happy to talk about the  locale.
>>They pointed out, (even the bad guys) that the Red River  was the only 
south to north river in the country.
>>I pointed out  that the Tennesse River flows north to south from 
Nashville along Waldens  Ridge to Chattanooga, where it flows east to west to below 
Memphis until it  flows NORTH to the Mississippi. So, I said, the Tennesee 
flows NORTH  also.
>>No, they said. A rivers course is determined by the direction  of the 
flow from the headwaters to where it empties. The Tennesee river flows  east to 
west.
>>A couple of years later I ran into a geographer on  another issue who 
told me they were correct.
>>
>>So the  Susquehanna flows east to west.
>>
>>Harrisburg may be east  of the river, but it is on the north bank.
>>
>>And when I  drive from Gettysburg to pick up a game at the Meadowlands, I 
go north, and  somewhere in there I cross the river before I head east.
>>This is  not to patronize anyone.
>>Now that we have cleared that up, Bill,  what do you think Lee was going 
to do with those two shot up corp up north,  could and tired and all alone? 
Still 500 miles away from  home?
