1. I figured your sig only says Milwaukee if you put down

a Queen and hold the rest. ;)

Otherwise, I think you've got some 'splainin' to do.

3. Ahhhh, now I get it.

And being a good German, I should have seen that right away. I always put my high cards to the left so I didn't see it your way.

4. I sorted it that way the first time

but I thought it looked "better" sorted that way.

5. What do you use for trumps?

In Wausau, we use clubs my husband, from Oshkosh, says it's diamonds.

6. For my family (central and southern WI) diamonds are always trump

I believe Hoyle says the same but I've heard many mythical tales of distant tribes using other suits for trump.

7. In Sheepshead

I've never heard of anything but diamonds for trump.

the only version of 'hed I play is five handed, call an ace.

8. Diamonds...

...but among the face cards, clubs are the highest trump.
