I've got to get to Ongs Hat still too. Red (he's in Barry's yahoo group) and I were right there on Ongs Hat Road, but we apparently missed it. Marilyn over in Chatsworth explained to me how to get there, hopefully I can remember the directions next time I'm out that way, I shoulda wrote them down
OR MAYBE I WAS THERE BUT IT HAD ALL DISSAPEARED INTO THE PORTAL!!!
I can speak English on a good day. Sometimes a bit of Spanish. My uncle can speak ten or fourteen or who knows how many any more languages fluently (as in, he used to translate medical journals into those languages). He learned Japanese out of a book, and then moved to Tokyo to do translation work. I have that book, I have no idea how he did it. We suspect he stole all the family language skills for the next six or seven generations.
