Great-grandpa's occupation at the time was camp dentist for a copper mine outside of Clifton, Arizona. Within a year or two the family would be headed to the oil fields of Southeast Texas.

Chupe is chowder/stew (thanks to my nearby coastal Mexican restaurant)

I checked the betting sites and sports books and there is nowhere one can place a bet for or against her so thanks for nothing, Caitlin.

Joshua, I'm not a Republic serial villain. Do you seriously think I'd explain my master-stroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I was adopted 35 minutes ago.
