There are some goyisha names that just about guarantee that someone isn't Jewish. For example, you'll never meet a Jew named Johnson or Wright or Jones or Sinclair or Ricks or Stevenson or Reid or Larsen or Jenks. But some goyisha names just about guarantee that every other person you meet with that name will be Jewish. Why is this? Who knows? Learned rabbis have pondered this question for centuries and have failed to come up with an answer, and you think you can find one? Get serious. You don't even understand why it's forbidden to eat crab—fresh cold crab with mayonnaise—or lobster —soft tender morsels of lobster dipped in melted butter. You don't even understand a simple thing like that, and yet you hope to discover why there are more Jews named Miller than Katz? Fat Chance.

Spring Snow

I couldn’t resist going out for a few minutes with the camera before the melting got too far advanced.

Taking advantage of the nice weather!

In the air! But not very sharp.
This wasn't here yesterday
Resting on the lakeshore
