With you there. For nickels, I like the Super Brights. Even the Super Bright stainless feel smoother to me than roto nickels.

My mom drank Manhattans! lol Long before I was of age she'd send out on my Sting-Ray bike to the liquor store to get her wiskey and vermouth. Those really were the days.It's from all those Cocktail arm curls I do, Rye Manhattans are heavy!

Bucket list item achieved a few years ago - I named a drug. Well, I was on the committee to choose a name.
I just assumed it was because of the decades of having to muscle a neck diving thunderbird bass to keep it from hitting the floor.It's from all those Cocktail arm curls I do, Rye Manhattans are heavy!
But I suppose a few of those Manhattan curls every night could make a difference too.

There were large parts of New York City that were German speaking before WW1. Those areas had German language newspapers and probably didn't have a huge English speaking population. Same with parts of the midwest. WW1 put the kibosh on German when the US entered on the English/French side, although that wasn't a given at the onset of the war.
I am really looking forward to meeting you!
Some Slothead goodness..
I notice you've got it in pos #1, the earthquake inducing position.

Rumor has it William S Burroughs would have liked that.

Great pics!!! That town is just north of the Black Forest area where I have family (Roth) from.Ah Sauerbraten - I know how to make it quite well. My mother was born in Germany in '32, lived through the war (Yes, she has stories) and came to the US in '52, I am mostly German.
Mom grew up in a little town called Annweiler am Trifels near the border with France in the Rhineland Pfalz.
This is the castle Trifels that sits above the town.
My late Aunt had a nice place in town.
This is Rothenberg, which we happened to visit last time, 2018.
Of course my visit to Frankfurt got me visitation to the bass collection of Uwe Hornung......
EB6 anyone?
Perhaps the SPCB?

Is that a complement?
So each one on the committee threw one letter each on the table and there it was?Bucket list item achieved a few years ago - I named a drug. Well, I was on the committee to choose a name.
I'm sure the name actually means something to the chemically enlightened. Not as in the 60s and 70s chemically enlightened.
Lots of Germans moved to Cinci and Louisville. We have one part of the city called German Town. It's an older area, but when mostly Germans lived there it was the neatest and cleanest part of the city despite being of some age. I remember as I kid running into adults who spoke German or had the accent. Not any more.
