    1. Shiloh was known for being heaps of fun as well as being brilliant, serious, cooperative and energetic. He listened well and could stand his ground, almost to a fault. He brought both great courage and spirited silliness to fieldwork.

  2. Trump administration denounces CNN for airing messages from Iranian leaders

    AP: The Trump administration denounced CNN on Thursday for airing a portion of the new Iranian supreme leader’s public statement, the second time in three days that he’s targeted the network for reporting on how the regime is responding to the American attacks.

    The attack illustrated the care news outlets must take in reporting during wartime, and the responsibilities of American journalists to report the perspective of countries its government views as enemies.

    CNN has long been a favored target of President Donald Trump, dating back to his first term. It’s a particularly vulnerable time for the network with Paramount Global’s agreement to purchase CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, raising questions about its future editorial independence.

    The White House said on social media that “fake news CNN just aired four straight minutes of uninterrupted Iranian state TV, run by the same psychotic and murderous regime that prided itself on brutally slaughtering Americans for 47 years.”

    “The world is watching with anticipation which direction this war will take,” CNN said. “Purported remarks from Iran’s new supreme leader are a critical component in helping audiences understand where this conflict is heading and were aired for their obvious news value.” -- nordy

    1. Yeah, they think anything that challenges THEM is unpatriotic.

  3. There is no way I could hold my inverted body up on one hand. Just no way. Shiloh must have been in exceptional physical health to do that...and to enjoy it! Susan

    1. Right?!
      Many people didn’t realise that the reason Shiloh ran miles every day was to keep in excellent shape for fieldwork. But the dancing began years before the running. He even did “the worm” at Eldest’s wedding reception just 13 days after having an emergency appendectomy! Even as a child he had physical prowess. He could leap the length of the coffee table with no running start. (It’s part of why his death happening in his prime just feels so wrong.)

    2. PS: Shiloh broke his arm at age 2 1/2, then did a handstand for the doctor a year later!

  4. I just took a whole car load of furniture and other stuff to donate. I am trying to make my house look like two humans live here again, instead of the President and Vice-President of Clutterers Anonymous. I'm also thinking, that now I'm in my 80's, I don't want my kids to have to deal with this mess after I'm gone ( in about 2044). Susan

    1. Well done, Susan!
      (We’ll hold you to 2044…at least.)
