Happy George! #DogsOfCoSo

I suspect in a generation or two, the meaning of "banquet" will no longer be feast.

It will mean crappy meal out of a box.

Good morning 🌞🌄🥤beautiful people! CoSoNauts! I live in a realm where all the grass is mowed and I am at peace. 😄

It's almost 7 pm and the heat index is still 117° !!!

If someone stole my identity my credit rating might actually go up.

It is hot and sticky outside. Look at the "feels like" temperature!

I got a DNA match with a close but not close relative. My grandfather was his 2nd great grandfather.

I knew my Dad's half brother. I met the half brother's sons a few times but they were 19 and 17 years older than me and lived far away Haven't met anyone from the generations below that. This match is on that line. Didn't even know his name until today.

Genealogy can be interesting. Or this. 😄

My maternal grandma had among her siblings two sisters who married two brothers. The brothers had the surname Ellner. The two I knew were rough old farmers. Catholic.

I got a message today from someone of the Ellner name. A Catholic priest. He was asking a question but also gave me some history of the Ellners. They were all originally Ashkenazi Jews. I would never in a million years have associated Clarence and Herbert with Judaism. My impression is they were barely Catholic!

Fascinating.

I just heard someone make a verbal faux pas. "You're having the worst day of my life." It works as empathy with someone having a horrible day, or as sarcasm to someone who's really unpleasant to be around.
