Wifey traced my Mom's family back a ways to Belfast, Ireland. We found the house where my grandmother was born. But that was about it. Mom's father was married twice (first wife died), so there's this split in the tree, so to speak. We have some info on Dad's family, but not much. One of his distant relatives served in the Civil War and we have a copy of his discharge papers. But aside from that, there isn't much.

For all who are interested in learning about your family tree there is no better place to start than Ancestry. com. You would be amazed at the amount of information they have gathered there. Not just names and dates, but documents and pictures too. You can build a pretty complete life story of ancestors you never even knew of. But beware, it's a gateway drug.

Cpl Thomas Ellis- “The Weary Marine” photographed during the Battle of Saipan. He was later killed in action during the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945
As Baker Company attempted to advance on D-plus-13, a fortified position manned by determined Japanese troops opened fire, stopping the forward movement. Corporal Underwood took charge of the situation, deploying his under-strength squad for an attack on the enemy. As he did, a Japanese bullet struck and shattered his carbine in his hands. “Undaunted by this narrow escape, he picked up a Browning Automatic Rifle and continued to lead his men in a successful assault,” recalled a battalion officer. This valorous act would be his last. A shell fragment tore into his back, and Thomas Ellis Underwood’s life ended on 4 March 1945. He was twenty-two years old. |

Two cup timer at the nursing station. Not that it really matters as you end-up nuking your coffee several times until it turns into transmission sludge.

That point is known as perfection in multi user facilities. An extra dash of milk/creamer/sweetener of your choice, and just get on with it.

I used to work with a Scandinavian guy who was the self-appointed coffee maker. He would have the coffee ready by the time everyone else arrived in the morning. He always brewed too much. There would almost always be three or four cups left in the pot way past lunch. At least once a week around 2:30 or 3:00 he would ask around if anyone wanted any more coffee. Of course nobody did because it was nearly asphalt by that time after sitting on the heat all day. He would then take the pot and pour the remaining coffee into the water tank and run it through the old coffee grounds again. The paste that came out of that poor coffee maker was absolutely disgusting and he loved it.
Now I don't like the smell of coffee at the best of times (I've never had a cup of coffee, ever) but the smell of his twice-brewed tar would turn my stomach. It was next level bad.

This picture looks very ordinary but it's made of 365 slices of pictures taken one a day.
