   Back in the 50’s and 60’s my sister and I used to call them the Sob Stories because of all the sobbing that went on in the shows.

   I only passed through the country a couple of times during my 5 years living next door. My accented Deutsch is messed up enough that most people who talked to me though that I was Dutch. Was living Niedersachen but learned speech and grammar influenced by Rheinland-Pfalz, Schleswig-Holstein, and Bavaria, by the end of the 5 years had picked up quite a bit of speech habits from my neighbors.

After 70 years some of us almost get used to the situation. It is harder for my youngest sister since she is getting to be an “Established” grandmother now. That and the 6 years difference between us seems to be growing, even though it is not.

    Someone needs to do more data collection on their target. This place may even have what he would consider “Adequate” cooking containers. He does love to cook, even without having a platoon to feed anymore. He is still working on getting that part of things worked out properly.
