OT, but this is the 37th anniversary of my first college graduation, so here's a snippet of European history for y'all:
Linda Ronstadt is also Hispanic. For a short time, Mexico had a European ruler, Emperor Maximilian. Unfortunately for Emperor Maximilian & his wife Queen Charlotte, er, Mexico didn't want an Emperor...he was executed by firing squad.
During the couples' time in Mexico, several shiploads of German & Austrian engineers came to build buildings, roads, and bridges. Other tradesmen came as well, leaving their Germanic surnames and some beautiful buildings!
I now return you to your regularly scheduled thread!
