That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Me, too, msbelle. Mutts represent!

I'm one of the people with Revolutionary War roots. I have Lt. Ezra Tucker to thank for the fact that I could be in the DAR, if someone came up with a compelling reason for me to go to the trouble.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I have some Irish ancestor(s) that came over in time to fight for the Union on my mother's side. My father's parents immigrated from Hungary.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I figure most non-DNA based ancestry tracking requires that my great(to whatever power) grandmothers were telling the truth about whose kids they bore. While I'm willing to believe Mom on that, and my grandmothers (given how much my parents look like their fathers), when we get to my great grandmothers and beyond, who knows? I never even met those people--I should be making claims about their fidelity? There've been people who screw around all throughout history, and I've no reason to believe my family tree has been unaffected.

So who knows where all my pre-1900 ancestors came from, really?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

My great-grandmother was in the DAR, so I qualify. Of course, her son married a 1st-generation German-American with whom she never really got along.

Enjoy your last day, msbelle.

Our wings are not tired.

The ancestry on my mother's side is clear, but dad was all mutt. My kids 57 varieties or so.

Have a good last day msbelle!

My company is doing a community dig at the moment. It's being blogged here - [link]

The pictures by the kids down the bottom are just the best.

And in honor of my last commute, more grumpy guidance for appropriate subway behavior from me.

Rushhour is not the time to:

Let your toddler practice walking on stairs
Move furniture via subway
Read the paper open wide
Take out your summer kids camp group
Panhandle with your musical instruments
