If you are thinking about the autosomal DNA testing here are several tests completed. These are my tests. Each includes the associated percentages as they apply to specific "ethnicity" labels.

The International Society of Genetic Genealogy Wiki is an excellent reference site. Check out the Autosomal DNA testing comparison chart link. (It does not include LivingDNA.)

Day 377 – (AD 1,539) – 20.5 Miles –Jim’s Trek Part V – Mars on My Schwinn 170

Good Day,

If you’ve been following carefully, I forgot to write about and record the 13th of March. that day should have been my 374th day of pedaling. (It does get confusing when in actuall fact I have been cycling 1,539 days. Therefore, I have screwed up the days I have been pedaling and shorted myself by 1 day.

Yesterday I pedaled my Schwinn 170, at a real slow pace, and completed 20.5 miles. It is my 377th day pedaling as a part of Jim’s Trek V. My totals are now 32,838.6 miles; 53,009.6 kilometers.

I have completed 87.34% of the distance to my next goal point.

I noticed in my calculations this morning that I have completed 60.43% of my overall goal of 38,201.6 miles.

Update CQ Quilt - Before and after.

CQ was one of two quilts that we worked on when we began quilting. Our first try at quilting... well it was a try. Andy and I decided that we would rip out the original quilting and change the binding.

We've learned a lot in 9 years, and still trying.

The beginnings of our newest and latest Cranes Quilt. All Cranes 3”; 1,785 pieces now to be sewn. Our newest and latest Cranes quilt has 105 3-inch Cranes.

Yes, we’re using tweezers to assist to piece the 17 pieces in each Crane block.

This should prove an interesting design.

Something to know about –

From Business Insider, #45 visits a show of walls –

“Trump visited his border wall prototypes for the first – and the photos are great”. Michelle Mark, March 14, 2018

"Trump has also previously explained that the transparency component will allow people on the US side to avoid getting hit by "large sacks of drugs" catapulted over the wall."

Something New, But Old –

And this is when to just stay out each other’s space.

Who ya gonna blame?

Something different –

Having been an educator and a mentor for the number of years that I have been in and out of the classroom and the private and public sector, I am ashamed to even consider and acknowledge that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is so, so devoid of any critical information, when asked, even in her own home state of Michigan.

“I do not know whether (sic public schools) are doing better.” Quoted from an interview and admitted on 60 Minutes.

The rest of the world must be laughing at the United States.
