Vend-o-Mat Burger

I am an American, and when I get hungry I want to eat something American.

I walk down a hall in the American building I work in, to the vend-o-mat machine. (What war was this magnificent technology a product of?)

Only $1.75 and a 1-minute microwave ride.

Viola! America on a paper plate! A beautiful bacon cheeseburger, don't forget the ketchup packets.
Spring Planting

Java Joe's

Java Joe's is a coffee shop on Water Street in Augusta Maine. The have decent food and good coffee. They close at 3 p.m.
I often overhear people say that it is one of their favorite spots in Augusta Maine, too.

To Dysart's Truckstop

Matt Stone checking the menu at Dysart's Truckstop.
Feed an Army? Dysart's is so good people from different eras come to sit at the tables and eat homemade corned beef hash and Maine blueberry pancakes. "Dave's Favorite" is my favorite.

Sorting out the regimental seating. Today the 20th Maine has an easier time feeding and seating the regiment, easier at Dysart's than a barn or a family farmhouse.
20th ME Co B The men and women of a Civil War reenactment company stop into Dysart's Truckstop to get a good meal after a funeral ceremony for a reenactor who spent her life portraying Chamberlain's mother, said Malta Lee Phelps of Joshua's Angels, the women's side of these hyper-real historians.
