   Yep, our anniversary will be coming up in Feb. We got engaged on Valentine’s day and married a year later. We both slowed down some, but she more than me. I just hope I hold out longer than her as it would be tougher on her than me, even though our kids would look after her. Fortunately, at least for now, three of them live within 50 miles from us, but they are in their 60s and have their own health issues. Our oldest lives over 600 miles away and will have to work another 5 or 6 years to be retirement eligible, due to a change of jobs late in life (his former company packed it in and shut the doors).

   He never shutdown Starlink over the Crimea, they were never activated in the region to begin with. The Ukraine requested they be activated so they could use the drones to sink the Russian fleet. Musk didn’t want to do that as Putin threatened to nuke the Ukraine and start WWIII.

   Unfortunately, the NYT and CNN omitted some of the facts as usual and you wonder why most people no longer believe the MSM. Snopes, left-leaning, explains it well: .COM/news/2023/09/14/musk-internet-access-crimea-ukraine/ .

   They never made a decent pen for me. Somehow, I managed to bleed ink, especially doing loops. Even way back, when I used a quill, and later, a “dip pen” (really did in grade school), it was even worse. Even with a ballpoint, my cursive writing is barely legible. My print letters are fine, especially after taking Drafting at a vocational high school and working as a Draftsman until I went in the service.

   BTW, learning and using cursive has been shown to be better for brain and memory development. States that dropped the requirement of teaching it are beginning to return to teaching it. It is also faster to write in cursive than printing.

   A belated happy birthday to both of you. My wife turned 85 Friday, the 13th. I was her “bad luck” 66 years ago. (◠‿◠)

   I still think Bernice wants to meet Phil because she never got her fill from Zane, Jack, Piro or Nil. (◠‿◠)
