Yeah, she she was born in Russia after her family moved there from Detroit.
They passed an old woman who was just opening the door of a brown Cadillac. An old man was already sitting in the passenger seat. The car had a personalized plate with the letters “J-U-S-P-R-A-Y”.
“That stuff work?” Israel said to her.
“‘Scuse me?” the little old woman said, clutching her keys.
“The spray. Does it keep them away?”
“Keep who away?” She looked confused.
“I gotcha.” Israel gave her a conspiratorial wink.

Ran into them in Chicago. They were visiting there from their summer home in Alaska. Gave me some fresh-picked tomatoes from the family farm in West Virginia.

Wow! I've met PMcP only once. I was in Hollywood last month helping Stallone edit ROCKY VI. About 11PM one Tuesday night, Sly turned to me and said, "I don't know what I'm doing. I don't know why I'm doing it. That's why I pay you in cash." And I replied scathingly, "That's right, boss Sly!" He said, "I gotta recharge. Let's go see PMcP." So we went to this private club in West Hollywood--don't recall the address. And there was the Pretz-man! Even Sly was in awe. Pretz said, "Stallone...you still alive?" Sly didn't know what to say. Who would? The great man motioned me closer. He said, "Son, I know what you're doing in this pustulating shithole of a town. You're helping Stallone edit ROCKY VI. Right?" I didn't know what to say. Who would? He went on: "Here's my advice--here's my best advice. Get out of here. You're not meant for this pustulating shithole of a town. Take a fast freight back east. I'll give you some money. Here's a tomato, for luck." And I did what the visionary director said. Best move I ever made.

Did you have any trouble understanding him with that thick Greenlandian accent?

Not a bit. My father was a polar bear. I don't speak it too well, but I can understand anything you care to throw at me.
Did your father grow up in Mexico too?

Grow up, no. But the old man had to make a run for the land South of the Border after he made Greenland a little too hot to hold him.
