  2. Photos of repair work at Kerch Strait Bridge [Click] Begins with a thank-you segment from a Ukrainian pet rescue group. And yes, damage to the road bridge does seem to be significant.

    1. Right from the beginning, the Ukrainian war effort has included pet rescue alongside people rescue. To my mind, that speaks very highly of the Ukrainians.

    2. And the Russians don't even treat people as well as normal folk treat dogs.

    2. Thanks! Youngest had just texted me saying, "Enjoy that sunset!" as he headed home to NH. Of everything he misses about living in Burlington, he misses the Burlington sunsets the most. I took the photo to send along to him.

    1. That would be remarkably fast, if she can manage it. But, she may. I hear she's one tough lady.

    1. I am reminded of the "Wizard of Id" cartoon where Rodney comes running in and shouts to the king, "Sire! The peasants revolting!" to which the king responds "they certainly are. Do you have any news?" At least that's how I recall it.

    3. We peasants sure are ready to revolt. I just wish our justice system didn't take so everlasting long to accomplish the obvious!

    1. More evidence of a well organized plan.

      There seems to be a great deal of video of people discussing various plans to steal or otherwise muck up the election. How bright do you have to be to figure out that talking about such things on camera (or a live mic) is really not such a hot idea?

    2. I am frankly surprised that none of Trump's buddies has yet exited by way of hot lead, cold steel, or poison. Then again, maybe three hots and a flop plus free medical care for life might look OK to some of them. Those reports of life in the Fulton County Jail that we found yesterday don't sound very choice, though.

    3. Oh, and hot mike plus video and live transcription sounds particularly ill-advised; but what would I know? I don't circulate in such exalted social circles.
