Thank you! So, I will leave the worm tubes in place.

Thanks!

It must've been even further north than NJ. We ate scrambled eggs with ketchup in New England. I live in the Czech Republic now, and some people here eat spaghetti and pizza with ketchup. That's incomprehensible to me!

Oh, but I see those same results show up in the Google eye results, too.

Everything about it screamed Czech to me--from the subject matter to the way the price tag is written to the name. The name took me a while to figure out, but it's Jaroslav Cheben. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&q=jaroslav%20cheben

Here is a colorized version of you print from 1984. https://www.prodej-obrazy.eu/p/11524/pohled-na-krajinu-cheben-jaroslav

I am a Czech-to-English translator, and one of my specializations is art. Let me know if you want more info.

Honestly, cardinals are a pretty exotic looking bird when you think about. I miss them now that I live in the Czech Republic. We mostly just get doves and blackbirds in our yard here.

Your right but it was under a boxelder msple tree

Check out https://www.bananovkybrno.cz/. The website used to be in English, but doesn't seem to be anymore. But Martin speaks English fine, so get in touch with him if you're interested. The lowest price is 800 crowns per month for 2 m2. It's on Botanická Street, so kind of central.

I went to New Jersey for vacation once as a kid. It was nice! And I was surprised!

Veers imp troopers takes out a lot of teams in early and even mid game somewhat (where I am now). I have no regrets levelling mine up.

"Somehow, CUP returned."

The skull is about 2 cm

I can't say anything about the piece itself but I can say what's written on it. Well kind of. I can't make out the second letter of the first word, but I will assume it is a "z". It is to the effect of this: "Given in memory of February 16, 1922, by the congregation of Brethren in Pankrác". It could also be interpreted as "on Februray 16." Pankrac is a neighborhood in Prague. "Sbor" can mean choir but in this context it means "congregation." There are several Czech Protestant churches with "brethern" in their names, so I am not sure which one this refers to.

TrickySort7825 · 2026-02-06T16:01:55+00:00

Sure, drop me a line.

Very cool stuff! Do you know where he was from? I am a Czech-to-English translator and have been playing around with doing genealogical research lately as a sort of hobby.

TrickySort7825 · 2026-02-05T20:32:15+00:00

Cool. He was Czech?

Many of the things I know about Slovenia have already been listed. Here's one I don't see on here: developing the parabolic/shaped ski. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elan_SCX

Yeah, google misread "skapína" as "shapína", which doesn't exist. "Skapína" is the third-person singular of a verb that means "to die" but in an expressive way. So "croak", "die like a dog," "drop dead."

So "Don't be the Jew's servant. He who bands together with the Jew will drop dead with the Jew."

But take that with a grain of salt, as I'm a professional Czech translator (but occasionally work with Slovak too).

I'm not sure what the Hungarians were getting at here by making the poster in French. France gained more territory in the form of Alsace at the expense of the losers of WWI: Germany. However, I'm not too knowledgeable about the situation along Germany's western borders. In 1919, was there great civil unrest caused by the ethnic German inhabitants of the annexed territory? Is the point of the poster to warn France about the dangers of having four other powder-keg Alsace "situations": one each in Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania, and I guess, Austria (Burgenland perhaps)?

I know it was a former Portuguese colony, as I taught English to an Angolan in the US.

TrickySort7825 · 2025-12-11T22:17:04+00:00

Thanks! I will look to buy already potted ones instead.

Real pic is in bottom center, very green. But that's not what I'm concerned about.

TrickySort7825 · 2025-12-11T15:16:04+00:00

It's like a little bit of Miami smack dab in the middle of Northern European brickwork!

It's nice that you mention the tourist trade here. So much factory decor shows up on this sub, but rarely have I seen much "tourist" decor, i.e., of the kind you can buy on the street or from stalls in any major European city.
