    Wandering around Berlin then - people were crossing the once border and then crossing back like they were in a daze.
    A euphoria that was indescribable...
    Forgetting is impossible when the Russians are blowing shit up in your "neighborhood." Ukrainian refugees are everywhere in Prague, and their kids are in the schools. There is a very keen sense that the US is the country most likely to forget, but there is still hope that they will not.

    Last evening. Saharan dust on prevailing winds all day tinting sunset clouds.

    Our daughter spent the Fall semester of 2014 at Charles University in Prague and that’s how I got to know Jorn! My wife and I had the chance to visit her in November of that year and the trip was very memorable and way too short.

    Paris Marathon day means the Champs Élysseés is a pedestrian zone.

    Sunny so walked to Notre Dame to see the timber framing of the roof. Scaffolding kind of blocks it, but one of the cranes just finished moving or lifting something up there.

    Our family is eager to go back and see the rebuild and eventual re-open. We all remember the centuries' worth of dust on the heads of statues and such from our first visit, so we're seeing the removal of all that as one possible positive.

    At work today I was talking to one of the designers and told him that a part he had designed reminded me of a flying buttress.

    His response: "If it was good enough for them, it should be good enough for us!"

    Part of the new security. Work in progress. I believe we are presently trying out different settings to accommodate use of VPNs, blockers etc. I think it is better today.

    beaver built two side dams, lowered the main dam and built a secondary dam - water covers maybe 20' more land before shoreline - we used to stand about where the reeds start to look over the main dam at the turtles



    from the old viewpoint
