And, yes, a brain fart led me to call it the “cleansing” of the Shire instead of the correct “The Scouring of the Shire.”


Oh, well. @StephenAtHome would be ashamed of me, particularly given how big a Tolkien fan I’ve been for well over 40 years.

I read those books as a kid and loved them, but was completely lost for tgat part. I've read them again as an adult, and after 20 years of military service and that part now resonates to me so much more.
