A federal judge writing an opinion finding that the DOJ committed fraud on the court that led to deportation and foreign prosecution of a man as a death camp guard.

Your uncle had giant brass balls.

I'd love to read about this in more detail.  Will Google now, but if you're feeling altruisitc, I'd take a PM.

 
It was the trial of a man accused of being the infamous death camp guard at Treblinka 'Ivan the Terrible.' It is extremely likely that the man extradited to Israel and later I believe convicted in Germany was not Ivan the Terrible.  The U.S. government failed to provide the evidence that another Ivan was considered likely to be that person.  Instead of providing that information, the DOJ pushed for denaturalization and extradition and aided in the prosecution of Demjanjuk for crimes he likely did not commit.

Your great uncle wrote the original opinion denying relief from extradition, I believe.  Based on the information provided at the time.  A few years later he wrote the opinion where he found that the DOJ had committed fraud - on the lower court and on him, and the lower court and he had believed them. It's a significant showing of judicial strength and integrity, and may be why he was never brought up to the Supreme Court level. He was certainly worthy of it.

Recommend Smash Burger Kitchen while you're there.  Food truck turned brick and mortar recently so you likely haven't had it in previous visits  Their signature burger with brie and habanero jam is pretty damn delicious.

Is that different from the Smash Burger chain?

Happy to report I'm now at the airport, but I'll keep this on my list for next time.  I think my brother mentioned this place, too.

 
GM I'll tell you about my Uncle George. When I was in my 20s he bequeathed to me his black Ford Taurus. I loved him for that and I ditched my beloved RX7 to drive it for quite a while after that. That side of my family hailed from Rhineland Germany (other side is Spanish) 'round turn of the century. Anyway Uncle George was eldest of a large (& I mean large) brood. He was so old (late 90s) he could recount being taught in German language schools here in NO. I would brink him bourbon and (as a child) he would stay stuff in German to me that the German nuns had taught him in say oh 1910.

To the Old Breed.

You guys don't know what it's like.
None of you ####### know what it's like to be as mentally ill as me. All I wanted to do was share some dogs along with some of my beliefs, but I couldn't even have that much.
You ####### #######s will pay for this. All of you will.

They aren't SEC hot, but I wouldn't kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers.  Although the girl in the middle of the first picture I posted looks like she is simultaneously smelling a fart while choking down a vegetable.

Girl on the left looks like she could put away a LOT of crackers.

 
Your wife looks tired, brother. :)

Reno is....Reno.  "Not as bad as I feared, but nowhere I'd want to live for the long term."   I know that's a cop out answer, but it's about the best endorsement I can give.   The work has been pretty good(for me. bride still looking), other than that though?  Not a lot going on here if you don't ski/rock climb.

I've lived worse places though.  Views are awesome, if nothing else.

Yeah, Reno was one of my stops when I was an auditor years and years ago.  I enjoyed some of it, including the views, but a few afternoons in Sparks reminded me why I wouldn't want to live there.  Still, better than Atlanta.

 
Just about everywhere is better than the A.T.L.  My wife's brother lives in the 'burbs there.  Freaking hell on earth during rush hour.  Rude a$$ people everywhere.  I am not a fan.

Sparks ain't so bad these days, if you can believe it.  Some decent neighborhoods out that way.   Tesla coming to N. Nevada in a year or so is making the rents/etc go up there though.  South Reno(where we live) is actually pretty nice.  It's all former ranch land, so it's not totally built up/congested yet.  Lots of walking/bike trails.  That sort of thing. 

Downtown Reno, on the other hand, is an utter crapbox.  Very few areas don't have at least a few streets that look like London after the blitz.  The downtown casinos that are still operating are pretty low rent, lotsa meth heads loitering in the park by the river, etc.  Luckily my office is in one of the small "revitalized" pockets.

My daughter won a prize at the school carnival - a beanie baby stuffed animal hedgehog. It has a name tag. It's name you ask?

Mr. Prickles. Fitting.
