Eight Months

 
It's been 8 months today since Shiloh (aka PhD*Son) died in the helicopter crash.
We have this sticker on our kitchen window, much the way Gold Star families
put a star in their window when their loved one died in the service. 
Shiloh designed and lead the process by which the American Oystercatcher birds increased by 45%, so this seems fitting.

    Among the layoffs is the Ukraine Bureau chief and the correspondent in a war zone there.

      As we’ve seen in recent years, continuing to eliminate scores of workers who make this storied institution what it is only stands to weaken the newspaper, drive away readers and undercut The Post’s mission: to hold power to account without fear or favor and provide critical insight into communities across the region, country and world.

      If Jeff Bezos no longer supports that mission, then The Post and its readers deserve a steward who does.

  3. Nordy, on the last thread you said exactly what I feel but couldn't put into words.

    I was too distraught to say so, but I love the photo of Alan holding a sheaf of lavender. It somehow seems to sum him up.

    JD Vance and Megyn Kelly side with Trump in suggesting Kaitlan Collins should “smile more”

    Vance takes it a step further and says “have some fun”.

    Collins was asking about the Epstein survivors.

    Little girls who were sex trafficked and raped.

    You don’t “have fun” with that.

    1. Whoever sponsored J.D. Vance, thinking he would be an asset to the Catholic Church, displayed extremely poor judgment, to say the least. I personally think that person should be drummed out, along with Vance. BLEK!

    2. Of course DT would try to cover over the question by belittling a woman. Tells you all you need to know about his regard for her gender.
