  8. Thankful for some release and relief…

    BBC:
    * The four-day pause in fighting between Israel and Hamas will begin at 10am on Thursday, Hamas says
    * Israel has not yet commented on when the pause will begin, but Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said he expected the first hostages to be received on Thursday
    * Under the agreement, 50 Israeli hostages taken by Hamas will be released and 150 Palestinian women and teenagers held in Israeli jails freed
    * Families of those held in Gaza have said every captive "needs to come home" and that each hour is "critical"
    * Up to another 150 Palestinians could be released - as well as another 50 hostages from Gaza - after the initial four-day pause
    * On Wednesday morning, Israel confirmed its ground and air operation in Gaza is continuing, before the pause starts
    Israel's government insists that this isn't the end of the war, reiterating its commitment to "complete the elimination of Hamas"
    * Israel began attacking Gaza after Hamas fighters crossed the border on 7 October, killing 1,200 people and taking about 240 others hostage
    *Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says more than 14,000 people - including more than 5,000 children - have been killed in Israel's campaign

  10. Alan, it's very disappointing that Howie Hawkins will apparently not be running. Let's just hope the Pres. minds his Ps and Qs.

    1. It looks to me like Mr. Biden is doing as well in office as anyone could, and far better than most would.

    2. I think Biden has done far better than I expected when he defeated Bernie in the primary.

      All vehicles being screened at Buffalo airport in response to the Rainbow Bridge incident, official says
      From CNN’s Sabrina Souza

      Every car coming into the Buffalo International Airport is being screened with bomb-detecting dogs amid heightened security in response to the incident at the Rainbow Bridge, a transportation official told CNN.

      Police patrols will be increased and travelers at the airport will undergo additional screenings, according to Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority spokesperson Kelly Khatib.

      The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) is in contact with The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and the Department of Homeland Security, Khatib added, and “due to these events we are exercising extreme caution, but the airport is operational.”

    3. I saw the security camera video of the car airborne for a considerable distance. There is a report that on the way to takeoff, it swerved around another vehicle. I can't hope but wonder if the driver confused the brake pedal with the accelerator and panicked. There shouldn't be any difficulty for the investigators getting legal access to the vehicle's performance recording equipment.

    1. I came home from school, skipping my afternoon classes due to early pregnancy exhaustion, I was three weeks pregnant, I took a nap. My hubby called later that afternoon to tell me the President was dead. The phone lines had been out due to overuse. He called as soon as he got a dial tone. We did nothing for days, just sat glued to the TV. Saw Jack Ruby kill Lee Harvey Oswald. I have no memory of Thanksgiving that year.

    2. We were having a test in 12th-grade English class. One of the math teachers (Mr. Newton) stepped into the classroom door and signaled to our English teacher to step out into the hallway. When she came back she looked distressed (as Mr. Newton had). After the exam was over, she told us that the President had been shot in Dallas; just how badly he had been injured was not yet known. I made tape recordings of the radio news reports and collected newspapers for several days after that, but over the years those disappeared. Neither do I have any recollection of Thanksgiving that year. That is one of the things that cause people of our generation to remember just where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news.

    3. Mr. Newton rescheduled our math (solid geometry/trigonometry) exam that we were supposed to have that afternoon.

  16. We'd been using the rhythm method as birth control, sure enough, we had sex on Halloween, the next morning, temp played shooting star. I threw up for the first time five days later. Threw up the last time three weeks before he was born. What I learned: You never, ever, enter a building unknown to you without checking the location and travel time to the bathrooms. Not restaurants, theaters, classrooms, churches, nothing. Ever. Teacher, who'd followed me out, moved me to his afternoon History of Modern Grammar Class without even asking me. He wasn't well liked, but I sorta thought he walked on water. . . .

  17. NY Times: Why Georgia Republicans Are Protecting the D.A. Who Indicted Trump [Click] “G.O.P. leaders, including Gov. Brian Kemp, are shielding Fani T. Willis from political threats, not so much to protect her, as to protect the image of the state.” Sounds reasonable to me, although I have not yet read it.
