Belize was Saul’s euphemism for death in Breaking Bad. And here Jimmy says “I would love to go there!” It’s pretty wild how consistent and tied together this universe is

WOW what stories!! That's crazy! I have a decent amount of English and Welsh on my dad's side. And Swedish from my dad's mom's side. My mom's side is a bit more of a mystery because my maternal grandma was adopted. But my mom tried to do some genealogy work back in the day and I have heard there's some irish, scottish, and even italian mixed up in there lol. My grandma was a fiery red head that gave birth to a bunch of other fiery red heads and strawberry blondes. But I don't know a whole lot about that side as I said. My dad's paternal side were LDS pioneers. It's become such a common thing to make fun of mormons and I used to partake in that quite a bit myself, but their history is actually pretty horrifying. They went through some awful things before they finally settled in Salt Lake City. States literally put out extermination orders for them to be killed. They were attacked and murdered - men, women and children - by mobs on multiple occasions. Their trek west using handcarts is a crazy thing to learn about and try to imagine. They endured through one atrocity after another. It's so common now to shit on them for being "racist" because of their priesthood ban fiasco, and that's certainly a black spot on their history, but the full truth is that they were actually the first christian religion in the country to advocate for the abolition of slavery. When Joseph Smith ran for president, the abolition of slavery was part of his campaign. They actually became huge political and social targets BECAUSE of their stance on slavery, and were attacked, killed, and driven out of their homes on multiple occasions because of it. Anyway, all that to say that LDS history is pretty wild and the more I learn about it, the more I'm grateful to my pioneer ancestors for making it through all that horrific stuff. Without them, I wouldn't be here! But ya, not sure how I got on that little tangent but I guess it's because I've been researching pioneer history a bit lately and finding it very interesting.

Jimmy and Chucks relationship reminds me of the Hollies song.
It's a long, long road
From which there is no return.
While we're on the way to there
Why not share?
And the load
Doesn't weigh me down at all.
He ain't heavy, he's my brother.
He's my brother.
Jimmy is a good man, and would never abandon his brother, but understanding his thought processes is impossible. You are right, his past is influencing his future.
Here in Oz we have Jonathan (red) and Granny Smith (green) apple varieties as well as those you mentioned, Kelsea. Tasmania, which is just over the horizon from my house, is called the apple state. They grow lovely apples there.
From the way you reacted to the 'lack of sun' comment, I gather you are Irish decedent? Guess that makes you a fiery Viking? Hmm, that would explain a lot! 😂 Have you had a DNA test? My family are English and Welsh decedents. My Mother's side arrived as convicts, back when Australia was first settled by the English. My great grandfather (father's side) arrived from England after having served in WW1. He was gassed and captured by the Germans, but lived and was given a free parcel of land in the middle of nowhere in Australia, to farm. He had no idea how to do that, and he and his young bride barley survived the terrible heat and conditions of what, back then, was inhospitable worthless nothingness. Needless to say, they battled the elements, and survived, growing apple and peach trees. He died prematurely when his damaged lungs gave out. Back then, times were tough.
Get well soon. Cheers.
