As part of a field trip at the CCDA conference this week I visited Point Comfort which is where the first enslaved Africans were brought to British North America in 1619. The flagstones in the memorial are from Angola if I heard correctly.

Plaid Cymru wins the most seats in the Senedd. Labour and Tories in single digit seats. I guess the big ? Is whether PLC will go it alone in a minority govt or if they’ll go into a coalition w Labour I think I have that language right.

Sharing this sort of thing is why the internet was invented. Can confirm it works

Picture of Hall @ Oates in peak 80s hair. On top it says “i just called the Hall & Oates emergency hotline - and it still works!

It is fitting we have a winter storm right now bc it is the tenth anniversary of this. I brought it in the night before a big dumping of snow and by the time anyone of note found out … well what’s done was done wasn’t it?

We knew they were going to need to tear the floor up to deal with some rot. Someone neglected to tell the person whose office is directly outside the work area it was today.
