9 January 2014 A name by any other name is still a name

Cassi Creek:  Something different today.  I ran across this Slate document dealing with Ashkenazic surnames.  It is a bit lengthy but quite interesting, at least to me. 

          Waiting for the roofing and gutter company to repair and finish what the previous gutter company did poorly or left completely undone.  The 2^nd crew called to say they were coming today.  There is still snow on the roof and I made them aware of that.  We were hoping to have them reseal all the vent flashing.  Obviously not an option today. 

Here’s the Slate document.  Enjoy!
