    At a funeral with a bunch of old people today. One guy is originally from Italy and he was telling a story and casually used the term "Octoroon." It took a moment to register in my head and I later asked my wife and she has never heard the word before. I can't remember if that is considered a racial slur today, but I thought it was interesting.

    No it's not. Unless some emotional hemophiliac was in the area and heard it.

    I would have liked to been in on that conversation. Hearing his inflection when using it, would have made my day. Just Like mama use to do

    No inflection. He was talking about how he had no idea that snow was wet or slippery having coming straight from Italy. He said he had just arrived at the Chicago airport and stepped in the snow and fell flat on his back. "Then this giant octoroon picked me up off the ground and put me on my feet. His had spanned across my whole entire chest, from here, to here." It made me laugh.

    If you're lucky, you may still meet that guy. He was my grandpa's best friend. If you end up coming down here to check out the garage, he may be around.

    I'll talk to family and see what the deal is. I assume that now is when all the real drama starts. If I have time off this weekend, we'll see if we can get something arranged.
