@MargueriteHBC Email with a couple of recommendations sent.

@MargueriteHBC I can probably get a couple of names for you. Expensive, though. Let me do some asking.

Rest in Peace, Jimmy Carter. A great friend to the world!

Here he is in his late 90's building a home in Edmonton with Habitat for Humanity.

Jimmy Carter was proof that decency and goodness can exist in public service.

Jimmy Carter even heroically saved Canada from a nuclear meltdown when he was a naval officer over 70 years ago!

The world’s first nuclear reactor meltdown occurred in the Ottawa Valley and he was in charge of the team containing the disaster.

Peace be with you and Rosalynn.

@MargueriteHBC Good luck out there!

@MargueriteHBC Hello! I haven't been here regularly for a while, after signing on with Bluesky. I'll make an effort to check in more often. Glad to see you're still posting regularly, and congrats on the release of your latest book.

A serious heatwave in parts of Canada is still ongoing.

I'm just grateful it's not snowing. Shoveling in this heat would be brutal.

@ccamfield Yeah, I'll admit I am questioning its value at the moment. Seemed like a good idea, but now it's another tab open to monitor. I'll probably keep it going but only check it now and then.

Trump's Ally Vladimir Putin Appears to Have Murdered His Political Rival Alexei Navalny

“Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has died in jail, in what is likely to be seen as a political assassination attributable to Vladimir Putin.”

The world must unite and stop Putin.

@MargueriteHBC Glad it worked out for you. I updated to the latest version of Monterey on my M1 Mac Mini this morning and it took a while. I was a bit nervous, but all's well.

@MargueriteHBC Were you updating the OS?

2023-12-29

I've got invite codes for Bluesky, if anyone is interested. Preference given to #histodons

@SonOfSandor Best Film Ever. Period.

@MargueriteHBC I've shared the article with the Clouston family. Some great holiday reading for them.

2023-12-22

@MargueriteHBC It's a Christmas miracle! Looking forward to reading it. Best wishes to you for the holidays and new year.

@MargueriteHBC Be sure to tag me in any post that mentions a Clouston, in case I miss it in my feed. Remember, there's a star and probably a boost in it for you!

@DVM_vet The heating there or where you live? I imagine you might go later or sooner, depending on the answer!

2023-12-02

@DVM_vet If you think of it, will you let me know when you plan to go to the Museum? I'm looking for material related to those two RAMC sergeants.

2023-12-02

@DVM_vet Quite a few articles on the subject available online, including from the Smithsonian and Nat Geo, IIRC. Also, about how caring for the wounded later led to cancer treatments.

2023-12-02

@DVM_vet At least one of the #RAMC sergeants who accompanied the Canadian surgeon Major Colin Scott Dafoe on an #SOE mission to eastern Bosnia in 1944 was in Bari when the attack occurred. He suffered minor injuries.

@MargueriteHBC You get a star from me for every mention of a Clouston!
