Have you tried that pizza yet, Mr. Beagles? It's been well rated in the frozen pizza category although I prefer Jack's as a minimally acceptable cheap frozen pizza. Home Run Inn has always been a south side product. The original location on 31st St. is still in business and they have expanded with many stores in the Chicago area with frozen pizza sales throughout the midwest. When I want to splurge I'll get a Home Run Inn pie, or maybe a Palermo's. They make a good pizza, too, in my opinion, but there's no accounting for taste.

Ancestral records can be reliable sources for genealogical studies but that assumes everybody was honest. A birth date written in the family bible may have been adjusted to obscure the fact that the mother may have been pregnant at the time of her wedding; perhaps unlikely but also possible. And then there's the issue of paternity, especially when the husband is away from home for extended periods of time. Some cans of worms are best left unopened, I think.

I recently listened to the audiobook version of Huxley's Brave New World and it's a fine companion piece to 1984 but it is more of a satire. In a later work Huxley said something that gives Brave New World a lot of relevance to our modern lives: "...man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." The guy was way ahead of his time.

Discussion of immigration and the border continues and I read something interesting but I don't know if it's true. If you're within 100 miles of the border agents can stop and search your shit without a warrant. Citizen or not, the law is on their side and I think of Beaglesonia, less than 100 miles from Canada. Any funny business up there, Mr. Beagles?
