Rubio shamelessly omits that the U.S. gave security assurances to Ukraine in exchange for it giving up its nukes in 1994. We must honor our pledge and stop Russian aggression and bloodshed everywhere—or it won’t end with just Ukraine.

Yesterday my daughter emailed me, asking why I didn't do something useful with my time.
Talking about "doing-something-useful" seems to be her favorite topic of conversation.
She was "only thinking of me," she said, and suggested that I go down to the Senior Center and hang out with some of the other old fellows.
So I did this and when I got home last night, I decided to play a prank on her. I emailed her and told her that I had joined a Parachute Club.
She replied, "Are you nuts? You are 71 and now you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I told her that I even got a Membership Card and e-mailed a copy to her.
She immediately telephoned me and yelled, "Good grief, Dad, where are your glasses?! This is a Membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."
"Oh man, I'm in trouble again," I said. "I really don't know what to do. I signed up for five jumps a week!!"
The line went dead.
Life as a Senior Citizen is not getting any easier, but sometimes it can be fun.

Debian Linux was officially founded by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. That's 32 years of stable, free, and opensource computing. From a single kernel, it has grown to parent some of the most popular OSes in the world. Cheers to the one that started it all! Happy 32nd birthday to the beloved mother of all distros!! 🥰 🍰

A tale of two vibes.

The moods of the sea change the face of the shore; sometimes very subtly, sometimes more dramatically. Today at first glance not much had changed from Friday, when I was last here. But the tides had piled up new banks of stones and shells; very close to the tideline, these, I expect they'll be gone tomorrow. After a caress from the salty waves they really shine.
