A little levity for the day....the word "pic" in Turkish (the "c" in pic has a little squiggly at the bottom indicating it is a soft "ch" sound) literaly translates to "son of many fathers".  Therefore one of the first things American servicemen and families are taught upon arriving in Turkey is that that we not call a peach a peach, but a sheftali, else we insult some poor Turk who thinks we are doubting his parentage.

So, if in future postings I ever refer to someone as a "real peach" keep the Turkish translation in mind.
