Damn shame to close the mound up, IMO.

It’s been quite a month for this kind of thing, no?

just add water and there you have it...the legendary Atlantis, possibly constructed according to a celestial phenomenon.

I see they have a White Castle At the southern end. I love those Burgers!

"I see they have a White Castle At the southern end."

Yup, it's a shame...many have begun living off their royalties.

Those boxwoods are HUGE! Must be hundreds of years old.

Very interesting! Thank you so much for the links. I find it fascinating that such diverse cultures/areas/civilizations have so much in common in ancient times. One can even draw parallels between some of the mythology and Biblical history as well. Fascinating stuff indeed!

"I was born with red hair (fire engine, not orange) which I was told fell out (at 6 months) and then grew back in blondish (white) as a young child and then has gotten progressively darker as time goes by, all with red highlights underneath though (only in my beard)... Also, fair-skinned, freckled, short, and a wee bit stocky (unusually stocky) (I easily gain muscle-mass when working at it at all).

FWIW, my family claims German but as far as I can guess is more "Prussian" as the greatest concentration of my rather rare last name is from the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg. I have no idea where they came from before that.

When you arent fixed up for a night out do you have something of a...um...unusually youthful, almost childlike appearance?(rhetorical)

Despite middle age, without my beard, when going out I would get carded.

Somewhere along the line I read an account written by someone facing Prussian troops who described the ones he was facing as unusually stout and boyish in appearance...now I wish I knew where I had read that...
