So fine, I’ll do it this way.

Quite lovely work day even if I did learn that there will be no northern lights for us. My friend had seen something suggesting this so I checked this morning and no, no northern lights for us. Not that we could have seen them anyway, it is supposed to storm and hail and tornado all at once. Time to leave the state!

Ukraine received military aid pledges worth 1.5 bln euros this week at the NATO conference. They also got a promise of streamlined entry at the conclusion If the war. And of course they can’t get in before the war is over, that would immediately commit all other NATO partners to war.

Russia has lost so many tanks that Ukraine has more now. Russia has lost so many tanks that they are using decrepit pieces of that barely move. Some of these they are filling with explosives, driving toward the Ukrainians, and jumping out of. The British think that a majority are blown up before reaching their targets. “ former U.S. Army Europe chief, Mark Hertling, wrote on Twitter on June 19: "Pack a tank with explosives, have a volunteer drive it, then jump off after pointing it toward the enemy. What a stupid way to conduct armored operations by the Russians.””

Russian polls show that Russian support for this very special operation is dropping precipitously.

And with that good night because I’m discussing photography with the amazing person I’m doing UV black light photography with.
