By way of background-
I was born on 5/5/75. Easy to remember, huh?
Berlin used to smell like sawdust. Not the German Berlin. New Hampshire-where I'm from. What's the difference? Well, one's in Germany, and they used to talk about it all the time on Hogan's Heroes-That and the Russian Front. The German Berlin is pronounced with the accent on the 2nd syllable-'BerLIN'. The New Hampshire Berlin is 'BERlin'-As in "Brrrrrrrrrr-lin sure gets cold in the winter!"
About 10,000 people live here. You could look it up. And it's The City That Trees Built. Because of the paper mills. But I don't really want to talk about my hometown any more for now.
