That's what I was afraid of. What was that old saying... "Missed it by --that-- much!" grrrr... I've always felt such kinship on that side of the family, and had always hoped to move there. The shape of the U.S., and not having much hope it's going to shake its way out of autocracy this time, I truly hoped I have some right of return or something based on my ancestry.

BTW... no apropro to anything.. but my great-grandma who was full-blooded Irish all the way married my great-grandpa who has half-blooded Cherokee. My grandma said when they got mad, you just left the room... and then you could STILL hear the argument! (LOL) My great-grandpa, who played sometimes with Woody Guthrie, fought old man Koch in much the same way I've fought the Koch brothers. I like to think he looks down and approves of me from time to time...
