I'm the oldest of 6 kids.  I have one brother 10 years younger (he's in 
the medical because he likes fixing people). He got the house when the 
mother died because he took care of her and the house for the years it 
took her to get to 98 after Reagan cut the VA budget to save it and shut 
down the long term rehab and home care unit where she was the head nurse 
and kicked all the busted up WWII, Korean war and Vietnam vets out to 
the street.  The sister next to me in age is married to a Navy Tooth 
Fairy (Ret).  He's Navy all the way down and very very conservative. So 
is she.  They voted for Trump and I told them it was a stupid thing to 
do and now they agree.  She's one of those busy people who lived in 
China so she has a wok and knows how to use it so sometimes we swap wok 
tricks (there's a $$$ restaurant in the family so sometimes she'll just 
butt in and chef stuff).  Sometimes she's the Mayor, then she'll switch 
to the school board and then she'll do a county thing and when she gets 
done with that she'll work a deal with the county superior court to put 
the community service criminals to work pulling junk cars and couches 
out the wetlands and ripping out invasive alien plants and making trails 
for the nature lovers.  Then I have a picky sister who doesn't cook very 
well who wanted to be a teacher but she ended up working for the state. 
She has 2 sons who liked to go to hang out with the aunt and uncle 
because we'd build roads and bridges in the yard and cook up tasty kid 
food so they grew up and became engineers who build race cars same as 
the uncle.  And I have a Cajun sister married to a good ol' boy who goes 
deer hunting and crawfish catching a lot while she does newspaper 
editing and then they go Cajun food cooking at the fairs.  And I have a 
Jesus preacher sister.  We get along great because I taught her to drive 
sideways, double clutch heel and toe and tune motors so she can do shit 
with cars and trucks that most preachers never heard of.  Sometimes I'll 
talk about geology and dinosaurs just to get her going when she calls me 
at 11 PM to find out what's up and to tell me she painted a picture that 
got $500 at the art show and she has 6 portrait commissions (praise Jesus).

What about you?
