It was really neat to hear that my ancestry had a profound effect on my family. That welding business was my dad's for many years. I grew up playing on metal sheets at my dad's work. I didn't know I had any kind of culture, but it was there all along.

I told him that's probably around the time of my grandparents. My grandfather started a welding shop. He was surprised by that. He told me welding started in Sweden. (Internet verified it)

Damn. I had a feeling that I'd have a similar response. Everyone is hyping up mid movies.

I'll be curious for your updates....

It barely rained in Burbank. Wah.
