The couple immigrated to the U.S. with six children in 1832, first settling in the state of New York and then moving after a few years to Lexington, Sanilac County in Michigan. The earliest ancestor of Jacob Surbrook is said to have been Niklaus Zurbrügg, also of Frutigen, born 1626.

When these people came to the USA, it became Zurbrigg, Surbrug, Surbrook, Zurbrugg, Zurbruegg, Surbrugg, And Zurbrick. More specifically, Jacob Surbrook, baptized Jacob Zurbrügg on August 5, 1792 in Frutigen, Switzerland, was the founder with his wife Susana of the Surbrook line of _Michigan_.

For most of my life, I had no idea where the name "Surbrook" came from. Recently, I found a website that tells me: zur Brügg means "at the bridge" in Swiss German. This became the surname Zurbrügg.

@kurtbusiek.bsky.social -- I wandered into my local thrift store and saw this. Priced at $60, but the color code for the day ment it was 1/2 off, so... yeah, I paid all of $30 for 1024 pages of Conan goodness.

I've paid off three credit cards with annual fees and the worst interest rates. Three more credit accounts to go to pay off so the debt I got paying medical expenses out of pocket last year when I was just out of the hospital and had no insurance.

Juniper is not sleepy... she is just recharging before the next attack on my toes. She also fought valiantly against the hand under the blanket.

One of the Washington Nationals TV guys once said that the way to pitch to Giancarlo (then Mike) Stanton of the Florida Marlins at Nats Park is to just go ahead and turn around & throw the ball over the right field wall.

Former Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine once described his strategy of pitching to Musial: "I've had pretty good success with Stan by throwing him my best pitch and backing up third."

As it will soon be Spring Training: "I'm beginning to see Brooks [Robinson] in my sleep,” [Sparky] Anderson said afterwards. “If I dropped a paper plate, he'd pick it up on one hop and throw me out at first.” Apparently the way to pitch to Hank Aaron was to make sure no one else was on base.

"Such a day; rum all out. Our company somewhat sober; a damned confusion amongst us! Rogues a plotting. Talk of separation. So I looked sharp for a prize [and] took one with a great deal of liquor aboard. So kept the company hot, damned hot, then all things went well again."

Phenomenal game session tonight. PCs were split into multiple groups, I swapped between them frequently, and made decisions based on "what monkey wrench can I throw in now?" I was told that it was the best session so far.
