Belgium talk not going away.
Most my ancestors moved to Ohio in the 1840's. Would be my great-great-great grandparents or whatever. Most came from Germany. The rest came from what today is Belgium.
I have read that Belguim is half Holland heritage and half French. My "Belgian" ancestors came from the French part. I hope that clears it up.

I wish I was 1/4 Dutch instead. Holland is a clean, industrious place.
I'm gonna give them credit for fighting the good fight and yeah, their rep of being a poop tourist stop is just too much. Not enough Clorox in the world.

Tennessee’s governor pardoned country star Jelly Roll on Thursday for his criminal past in the state, acknowledging the Nashville native’s long road back from drugs and prison through soul-searching, songwriting and advocacy for second chances.
The rapper-turned-singer whose legal name is Jason Deford has spoken for years about his redemption arc before diverse audiences, from people serving time in correctional centers to concert crowds and even in testimony before Congress.
Republican Gov. Bill Lee issued the pardon after friends and civic leaders of the Grammy-nominated musician joined in an outpouring of support.
Jelly Roll’s convictions include robbery and drug felonies. He has said a pardon would make it easier for him to travel internationally for concert tours and to perform Christian missionary work without filling out burdensome paperwork.

Early 00's Douchebag Rock is having a bit of a comeback. Creed of course, Buckcherry, Hoobastank, etc. I wasn't much of a fan then but now? Guess I've turned in to a DB. (I blame this board.)
