I visited my ailing sis yest & this morning. 20 mins after getting home (3 hr drive), got tthe call that she was gone. Her 3 boys & 3 of 4 sibslings saw her today. One sib was on plane from Vancouver to Calgary, but not in time
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Try to think of all the happy memories you shared.
Our only consultation is to know they are with God and at peace. I pray for peace, for you, your family and everyone who loved her.
 


Yesterday was my sister's funeral. The closing chapter of her life, but not the end of her story.

My sister would always call me when we lost a family member or friend. It was always the same. Life goes on, remember the happy times.

Pretty little sister we can no longer talk on the phone. I will always cherish our memories. I will love you and keep you with me forever.
 
Beautiful winter morning here, we got our first snow and everything outside looks a beautiful white in the early dawn.
Train plans for today is to do my first DCC install will update later today. Coffee with some honey right now and a bagel with peanut butter.

I wish you all a great day! You all deserve it.
 
And the clown car has a driver! I figured incorrectly about it taking all weekend. But the footage from Cspan from last night was interesting.

And, a side note. Now that one party controls the US House chamber, CSPAN cameras will NEVER show footage that is NOT approved by House leadership. Happens no matter who is in power. Speaking as a journalist, I am NOT in favor of cameras in courtrooms (see the debacle of the OJ Simpson trial).

I am, however, very in favor of unfettered access of the people, through independent viewership, mics, and cameras in our government bodies. The House and Senate chambers need to have camera operators panning the chamber, and finding the behind-the-scenes maneuverings like we saw this week.

Sadly, that won't happen for another two years. And then only until a Speaker is chosen, and a party officially takes control of the chamber.
 


Something occurred yesterday that has me more than a little conflicted.
I got no less than 8 separate emails in my dedicated email address that's only associated with my Apple ID, calling me by my correct first and last name, and telling me I was part of a class-action lawsuit involving Apple's questionable butterfly keyboards.
While I haven't made it a secret I'm a huge anti-fan of them (it feels like I'm trying to type on a 2x4), I'm wondering how the legal company got my correct info, and what makes them think I want to join a lawsuit and probably get a whopping $5 for my trouble...

I can’t image the concessions the new clown driver had to give up to gain the job he “earned”.
