re: #73 laZardo

I’m an azkal* too.

[*short for asong kalye lit. “dog of the street” but also meaning mutt]

I thnk most are more mutt than they realize. I thought for the longest time I was just a quarter Irish-German-Slovak-Slovene but I found out that a great great grandparent was Scottish born, and family has been sayng we’re Swiss-German whatever that means for ages, plus I know my Slovak great grandparents were not Roman Catholic but a form of Greek Catholic. I suspect some ties to the Russian empire given that my great grandfather worked as a young man not in the Austro-Hungarian empire but the Russian one.
