Admirer left a wonderful legacy. 

If you try to go to the nursery and you
- can't find your credit card
- your tire is flat
- your watch battery is running out
maybe it is the universe telling you that you shouldn't go.

Maybe the universe will feel differently tomorrow. 

The time we are going to Iceland is the best time to see the aurora borealis. This is because of the earth's tilt at the equinox, putting the earth at the ideal angle to catch the solar winds. 

Olesia Vorotnyk was a dancer with the Ukrainian national ballet when Russia invaded. Her hobby was shooting. She began working at a checkpoint, carrying an AK-47, and evacuating civilians. In June she resumed dancing. Her ballet company no longer puts on works by Russians. 

The US is sending Ukraine two surface-to-air missile systems, four additional counter-artillery radars, and ~150,000 rounds of ammunition. This is part of the package Biden announced on Thursday. The radars have three times the range of the systems we sent before. 

The Kremilin submitted a bill to the State Duma on "special economic measures" to help them quickly repair weapons and military equipment. The bill would give the Kremlin the authority to establish special regulations regarding labor for some facilities.

G7 leaders made fun of Putin for his shirtless photoshoot when he was 57. Now the world is making fun of Putin for meeting in Turkmenistan at a gigantic table.

Ukraine destroyed a Russian-controlled drone, called a Forpost, and estimated to be worth $7 million.
