Ah. Was just in Alaska hanging out with the baddest German on the planet. Guy brews the best beer I have ever had, smokes a cigar every morning while watching a western flick, and makes some of the best bread I have ever had. He grew up in Germany and during WWII, his dad use to make him steal British officers' supplies. Once stole a mortorcycle and parted it for two pigs. His father was a prisoner of war and was held up in Texas and ranchers hired him because all the boys were off in the war. Guy says that his father was considered a rich man by the the time the war was over. Not surprising, this guy is a Self-made man...you'd like him. Sort of a ramble. sorry.
