800 years ago in East Prussia, a tiny group of people had a revelation. Adult baptism was the one truth path! They split from their Mennonite brothers/sisters and formed a breakaway group known as the Dunkards. After having been escorted from East Prussia, Switzerland, and New York, our happy little clan ended up in Waterloo, the black walnuts having shown us the way. Even for us, the breeding pool was getting somewhat small and we decided once more to allow breeding with the formerly heathen Mennonites, enabling us to expand our choices to our 2nd and, in some cases, our 3rd cousins.

I married a Scottish/Cherokee woman. My children are thankful.

Midget With a Gun

Chapter 1
It was a cold day, the type of day that made you want to stay in bed with a Mickey. Spillane that is. It was the kind of early autumn day where the snow that had fallen virgin white and covered the street’s sins was melting under the hot sun, and was now a tainted grey-brown sludge. ‘Good riddance,’ I thought as I watched it and the chronicles it carried flow into the sewer.
