My maternal side has been traced back to colonial days (I have an ancestor who fought in the Revolution and married the sister of a founding father).
Well … we’re ALL traceable back to colonial days.
(I don’t fancy any of us had ancestors dropped on Earth by aliens post-1776.)
Why is it that the one who laughs loudest at a lame joke is the perpetrator?
^If we did, we probably don’t know it.
Some of the folks I used to work with at JPL were likely, trying to find a way home…
It’s a good thing the locals didn’t have ‘Illegal Alien’ laws at the time, they’d have sent the whole bunch back to Europe.
Fangirl, well-said in your late post yesterday.
The Europeans, however, weren’t exactly sneaking across the border. By the time the Indians tried to enforce their own “illegal alien” laws, it was a bit too late.
Pardon me…I should have said American colonial days. My father’s family didn’t get here until the 1890s.
whoa. Wait a minute. Isn’t Skinner the surname of Slim and Clovia as well?
Yes - see 3/19/11 for how this got started.
“Har! Har! Har!” never bodes well.
