Long before that. Before the Great Depression. The decline in shipping
during the Depression, especially reduced shipping of coal and iron
ore, was largely responsible for him losing his job. He might have hung
on, but after he married my mother in 1930 she insisted on living near
her parents in SW Pennsylvania, rather than in Chicago, where my dad
was based. I'll never know whether my dad ever forgave her for that. My
dad ended up as a coal miner because my mother's father was a "pit
boss" and was able to get him a job as a pick-and-shovel miner.

My parents lived in abject poverty in a one-room shack in a
Pennsylvania coal patch for several years in the 1930's, until war
preparations led to an increase in demand for coking coal for
steelmaking and there was more work. During that time they lost their
first child, my sister, to scarlet fever at the age of 22 months. There
was simply no money for doctors or medicines, and there was no
Affordable Care Act. Then, as now, the capitalist oligarchy who
orchestrated and profited from the Great Depression hated the poor and
made certain the poor knew their proper station and stayed there.

My dad also lived in Windsor, Ont., for a period.

The entire story of how my dad became a pilot is too long for O.T.
post. I'll try to shorten it a bit. My dad had to leave school after
fourth grade due to poverty on the farm in Greene County, Pa. (still
poverty-stricken today). He also worked part-time on steamboats on the
Monongahela River in SW Pennsylvania as a child. His mother made
certain he was a good reader, though, and he had a natural ability in
math. He loved the riverboats, but had bigger plans. He passed the
test(s) to be admitted to navigator school, got a job on the lakes, and
after a year as a navigator, decided that he wanted to drive the big
boats, so he went to pilot school. He carried mostly wheat, iron ore,
and coal.

My dad died in 1989 at age 83--a ripe old age for a coal miner! He
loved farming, and after he retired from mining he studied viticulture
and became foreman of a grape farm in Chautauqua County, NY.

It's a long time since I was there.  I've a vague memory of the Dutch W being
Double-V rather than Double-U, so Doppel Vey.

A Dutch girlfriend called my BMW a Bay Emm Wow, because she thought it
was too flashy.

I have. Maybe it's Montreal English thing; they also say "open the 
light" and it's considered correct. The same people talk about "nucular 
families" and so on. For all intensive purposes.

Must not mistake trademark for language. "dool core" is an Intel trademark.

Just as Nukular® is a trademark owned by GE for its nuclear reactors. It
is just that it has come to be used in common language, just like
Ozonol, Q-Tips, Coke , Aspirin, etc.

"Prolly" makes sense.  A couple of days ago I posted a message with 
"and" instead of "had." I guess my mental voice was talking with his 
mouth full.  The result made no sense.

"Prolly" ... a cross between a parasol and an umbrella ("brolly"),
which can be used in either sunshine and rain.   ;-)

By the way, I use poor grammar on purpose sometimes. Sometimes I just
don't care. Sometimes I mix it all up accidentally. I probably did it
all just now.

Thanks for this. I learned a lot, too.

But it brings up a request: I would love it if one of you coding geeks
could write an applet to suppress the volume automatically during the
ever-present and increasing number of PIA ads on Facebook. Sometimes I
can't manage to hit the Mute button fast enough. Thanks.
