Thanks, I might have some trouble sleeping, "amped" doesn't quite cover the current state of affairs.

Oh, you mean



and that segways to...

My dad's side of the family is from Germany --> Cincinnati, OH. Looking at the directories from the early 1900s, when they included your occupation. Some of the years for some of my family showed "baker" but then some of the years showed "pretzel maker". I thought that was interesting.
