  1. Interesting they went to weather as a major factor of where they are.

    Nonsense.

    They are wherever man is. They are comensal, specifically, they eat from our plate – fellow diners.

    They are not natural to America. They came from Europe on the ships over the centuries.

    Wherever we are – so are they.
