An ‘Auto’biography of History

A Dutch MG Midget, with license plates JL-47-11, at campground ‘t Oekeltje in Rijsbergen, The Netherlands. Rijsbergen is a small town right on the Belgium border along the main highway to Brussels. ‘Oekeltje’ sounds kind of funny in Dutch but I didn’t recognize it as a real word. Google revealed that it has two meanings. First a person who did, or often does, something silly or dumb. And more applicable in this case, a reference to township Oekel, where the campground is located. ~~ Reinout Vogt
