You familiar with Stanleyville and those events?
Your grandfather was right under the circumstances, I think. Under those circumstances.

Nice bro, your familiar with proper names and not these PC Take A White Mans Ranch names.

So you know Rhodesia then.

DRC is no joke though, lot of location in Africa turned soft in regards to conflict, like play ground joke like Iraq or the Ghan was, but DRC I am sure is one that will always remain fun for the young body able men or old minded folks.

Nomad doesn’t make sense lol

I can pick up about 5%, but some is like third world out there man.

I really feel sorry for any cop who stops him, they likely think they got someone all sorts out of their mind on something, gettem to the station only to get chewed out and explained the difference between Sybil Dorsett dialect and someone tweaked out their mind.

5% might be a little high though; but hey, nothing in the rules about folks with an extra chromosome needing supervision on here.

You didn't explain little bird told me. Blood is thicker than water refers to choosing kin over others in situations.
Maybe you can explain "keith and kin"

Kith and kin.
Friends and family.

The first I encountered it was in a bit of this poem....

[The Men That Don't Fit In
BY ROBERT W. SERVICE
There's a race of men that don't fit in,
A race that can't stay still;
So they break the hearts of kith and kin,
And they roam the world at will.
They range the field and they rove the flood,
And they climb the mountain's crest;
Theirs is the curse of the gypsy blood,
And they don't know how to rest.

If they just went straight they might go far;
They are strong and brave and true;
But they're always tired of the things that are,
And they want the strange and new.
They say: "Could I find my proper groove,
What a deep mark I would make!"
So they chop and change, and each fresh move
Is only a fresh mistake.

And each forgets, as he strips and runs
With a brilliant, fitful pace,
It's the steady, quiet, plodding ones
Who win in the lifelong race.
And each forgets that his youth has fled,
Forgets that his prime is past,
Till he stands one day, with a hope that's dead,
In the glare of the truth at last.

He has failed, he has failed; he has missed his chance;
He has just done things by half.
Life's been a jolly good joke on him,
And now is the time to laugh.
Ha, ha! He is one of the Legion Lost;
He was never meant to win;
He's a rolling stone, and it's bred in the bone;
He's a man who won't fit in.]

What is an a.d.?
Mr. Ed did some voice acting after his show was cancelled due to his shenanigans. Apparently Mr. Ed "horsed" around with the wife of the producer. The scandal was hushed up.

Dang, I knew it was spelled kith. My brain wasn't working lol. Here is what I found.
"Kith is obsolete except in the alliterative expression kith and kin, a phrase that dates from Middle English times and seems to have already become a cliché by the 1300s. The Middle English noun kith meant basically "familiar country, place that one knows" and also "kinsfolk, relations." It comes from the Old English noun cȳth, meaning "knowledge," "known, familiar country," and "acquaintances, friends." Cȳth in turn comes from the Germanic noun *kunthithō, a derivative of *kunthaz, "known." Germanic *kunthaz was the past participle of a verb *kunnan, "to know, know how," which became cunnan in Old English. The first person singular of this verb, can, is alive and well today, as is what was originally the verbal noun and adjective of cunnan, namely cunning, which first appeared in the 1300s."
I don't hear it all nowadays. But heard it growing up.

Guess it meant somebody worthless or disgusting but around here it was just a term for a dog or hound.
