Agree. The beauty of brushed stainless steel should never be hidden.

It’s not a problem with THAT car. If ya want brushed stainless all ya gotta do is Go Back to the Future.

St Patrick's, the one day of the year when my underage youngest niece is encouraged to go to Irish bars.

She's an Irish dancer, they dance for the customers and take money donations, been doing it since she was 10. And yes, the parents go to supervise..

She's hoping that this summer is back to normal, She's a qualifier for the second time for the World Irish dance competition in Dublin in July. She's one of those kids you see who wants to be not the best they can be, just the best period.

When we lived in Ireland my sister was in an Irish Dancing group. It was a school class. She is on the back row because she forgot her white socks.

My ancestors hail from County Galway - one of these days I'd like to get over there and see if there are still any relatives.

Thanks for the web site. Another great way to spend time and learn something, too. Apparently my wife is one of 167 or so people with her last name. The name is a German name, but the site suggests there are more Americans with that name than Germans.
