Actually, George III had, if I recall correctly, scads of grandchildren.
The reason the crown passed to Victoria was that the old sod lived so
damn long that he outlived many of the people who could have succeeded
him.  George IV was his son, (or was he his grandson?), and Vicky was
the eldest child of the eldest child who was eligible to succeed
George IV, as George's marriage to Caroline produced no heirs.  I
found the fact that Victoria ever became Queen odd, because I was used
to Russian rules of succession, under which you had to exhaust nearly
all the possible male candidates before you could crown a woman.
(These rules were enacted by Paul I, who wanted to be sure that
Russia would never again be ruled by anyone even remotely like his
mother, Catherine II.)  George III had plenty of male descendants,
yet they were not sons of the eldest son, so they were out of the
running until all the descendents of the first son had been elimin-
ated.  By this logic, any daughter Chuck and Di ever had (not bloody
likely at this point, but let's pretend) would become queen before
any male children of Andrew or Edward, or even before Andrew or
Edward themselves could become King.

Subject:      Re: Now for something completely anal-retentiv

Hi Carolyn,

That was a good piece of writing - about 50's to 70's children.  But, guess
I'm a loner ..as I was a 40's child, born at the height of the Depression,
into a family of utter poverty.  My birthplace was an overcrowded, aging,
wooden tenament building 'sarcastically referrred to as "The Beehive".  My
front yard was a railroad switching yard (Steve might have liked that) and
the back yard - storage tanks for the Public Gas Works.  Family moved a
little later to old house at end of dead end street bordered by a paper
mill (how I miss the sound of rumbling wood piles, rattling carriers,
the distinct sulfur smell of blown digesters ....ah to relive those great
childhood days!).  It was not till after I left home (1951) that my dad
was able to modernize the house with an actual tub and shower!  My younger
brothers and sister missed out on so much ... they even got to (eventually)
watch a TV and go to a restaurant - some of life pleasures I only dreamed of.
Guess I really shouldn't dwell on my childhood ... not really too many fond
memories ... but did give me a good work ethnic ...my dad worked very hard ..
and a desire to never cheat anyone ... my dad was very honest .. but, sadly,
poorly equipped me with the talents to deal with people on a social level ..
we *never* had company, parties ... and my dad hated this time of year .
that's a little too strong ...we would go to the woods and cut a tree,
and he did limited shopping late on the afternoon of the 24th ...he just
didn't have time for Christmas ... an only child, mother died when he
was young, and raised alone in the woods (but he taught me a lot of things
about the woods, many people never learn ... maybe that's why I like my
Pasco Jungles and don't fear snakes, spiders, poison ivy, etc).  Anyway,
thanks Carolyn .... even it I did get in a self-pity mood ....that's OK,
in time that too will pass...

Guess I'll get Dawn up and go shopping ...Joyce already left to catch some
early-bird sales ... and maybe to look at sewing machines.  She made
Joseph a Christmas stocking  .... a HUGH Christmas stocking ... he
could fit in it!   Have a great weekend all!

                            Peace,
                                  Don

Would someone please explain to this Texan how snow is measured?  Do you
mean that the 24" snowfall that Ruth said is predicted in a portion of CT
is actually 2 feet deep?  And if so, is it measured as it first falls or
after it has compacted somewhat (similar to flour that has settled,
causing the bag not to be full, as opposed to sifted flour that has not
settled or campacted).  I really *do* want to know.
