    Interesting side note:
    It appears that my Great Grandfather was married to two sisters at the same time.
    We uncovered a census from back then and my Grandfather and his sister are listed in two different homes.
    The only difference is a middle initial for both and birthdays that are different by 1 day.

    The homes were only 1 home away from each other.
    "The State of Deseret (/ˌdɛzəˈrɛt/ (About this soundlisten))[1] was a provisional state of the United States, proposed in 1849 by settlers from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Salt Lake City. The provisional state existed for slightly over two years and was never recognized by the United States government. The name derives from the word for "honeybee" in the Book of Mormon."

    It depends. In your case, probably not.

    No, I don't follow him really- or any other forum member! Trust me, as I don't know anyone here- or even keep up with who is Right or Left!

    I have my own beliefs and opinions, and try to assimilate others ideas, beliefs, and opinions!

    But, I also have my own ideas about what is Right Vs. Wrong!

    If that relates to my personal politics- so be it!

    So I judge others by how much I think they are Right or Wrong- and not so much Right Vs. Left!

    Good for you. We need MORE independent Thinkers here.

    PS: Besides Dark Soul skiing the Materhorn, Mt. Fuji, and Everest, he also does Public Service Work like driving onto Construction Sites, waving his North Carolina Mechanical Engineer Badge (that he bought from an Amazon Vendor) and shuts them down for alleged 'violations'. Just a hunch on my part, but probably why Dark Soul needs to leave the State and relocate 'overseas' somewhere. ... somewhere that DOESN'T have an Extradition Treaty with the US.

    Typo, should be "not unexpected". My English ancestors migrated westward across England then Ireland until they ran out of land. They were contractors, building castles and defensive structures, things that Vikings would have been good at.

    Jack Off looking for attention. Go find yourself a boyfriend. Or continued to get plowed by Rune.

    • Attended a World Cup downhill (womens).
    • Skied the Kandahar.
    • Visited Liechtenstein (one of four countries that day).
    • Visited one of my ancestral homes, including a working dairy farm still operated by my distant cousins.
    Why didn't you visit one of Hitler's concentration camps - or where Reagan destroyed the Berlin wall?
