An inspiring read into how Britain is allowing Russia to clean house on British soil. Targeted assassinations by Putin go uninvestigated or are mislabeled as "Suicide", "Accident" and "Natural Causes", despite clear and apparent ties that link each death to Russia.

A rather good video that describes the importance of fossil collecting before they degrade and are lost to history forever.

A more intelligent approach to preserving shared heritage and resources than the Government of Alberta currently employs.
"A fossil on the surface, in this type of environment, may only have 3 or 4 years until it's dust. If you don't collect it, no one will ever collect it."

It's happy hour in Nelson, I've been a meaning to go for some several months now....
Buck-a-shuck Oysters. Half price appetizers and soups. $5.00 highballs, wine, beer and Caesars.
I've been waiting for this my entire life....
The Patio, overlooking the lake.
2 dozen oysters, the layer dip, the Tuna Stack...
The oysters, a bit mild, but excellent. The Caesars, well, it's got alcohol, doesn't it?
The layer dip, good, cheesy, the tuna, not so, frozen, not ideal.
I'd applied here, resting-bitch-face manager had pretended well, not well enough, I'm not working here but I'm glad, this is a far better hangout than it would be a workplace. I gotta plan to spend some night in town and come here and do some real damage when I don't have to drive...
...gonna open my own restaurant...

New waiter, R#4 likes him, he's nice enough, but I'd say "a bit sketchy". He's staying at the shelter in Nelson, takes the bus to work - not a lot of help, given the restaurant closes later than the bus schedule will allow, and to show up and not do the formidable side duties - sweeping, mopping, cleaning - etc. seems a bit of a cheat.
So I volunteer to give him a ride back to Nelson, and he's telling me about his plans to open a restaurant. He's got it all figured out, has friends he's gonna hire, knows the menu, the suppliers, has a business model by which he can work only 3 days a week...
...and I'm thinking that maybe buddy you should be worried about finding a place to live, a reliable means of transportation, it seems obvious, but that's the furthest thing from his mind, he's worrying about linen and cutlery...
