“Hey that tag of your’s...for real?”
Yup, for real. And some 24 ancestral relatives with same surname as mine fought in the Revolutionary War. One was with a detachment of Marblehead seamen from Glover’s Regiment who helped get Washington and troops across the Delaware for the Christmas Day attack on the Prussian troops at Trenton.
Two brothers came in the early 1600’s, one from Germany, one from France (some with my surname went to Germany from france during the Thirty Years War - explains how one came from Germany, one from France.
Of course we do.

Had a baby shower in the hometown with family on Sunday. My SIL (yeah, the lib one) was lamenting the fact that the “Water Celebration” was canceled due to rain and the upcoming storm. I had to ask her...she said it was an anti-fracking event. OMG I think the whole room rolled their eyes. No one engaged her further on the topic.
