I should clarify. My great-nephew was born 11-7-'07. Mom died late November 2007. But she got to hold him... He doesn't remember her but he has her hand guiding him.

I don't remember my great grandmother, but I treasure a photo of her holding me at age 6 months.

On April 25th 1953, in Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory, researchers Francis Crick and James Watson published a paper in Nature about their discovery of DNA's molecular structure. This discovery was aided by the work of Rosalind Franklin, Newnham College graduate and Kings College London researcher, whose use of X-ray Crystallography was key in revealing the helical nature of DNA.
Next you will tell me the climate is changing!!!
Douglas Noel Adams
was born in Cambridge on 11th March 1952.
He used to quip that DNA had been discovered in Cambridge before Watson and Crick.
Sure Tree, always from warm-time to ice-time and then in the other direction. That's how it always was.
New is only, we have a species on earth, where a few specimens think she must interverne and stopped the natural process.
my post was humorous...

It is changing! More than 20 years long, I could switch off my central heating around April 10th. Today, 27th of april, it is still on, as also was the case the last couple of years. It had frozen this morning. Never seen, so late in springtime! We are facing an ice age, for sure!
Swallows are back, they perch on my landline cable and swoop around all day chasing insects.
Sometimes coming out of my front porch can be a Hitchcock moment,
they dive straight in. They're a little late this year, but always within the same week,
no matter what the weather.

'Burnin' and a-lootin' tonight!'
On 29 April 1992, twenty-five years ago, the city of Los Angeles was torn by the Rodney King riots which resulted in more than fifty deaths, gun battles on TV, the National Guard and the US Army sent in, and an international PR disaster for the now sole superpower.

This (like Ferguson years later) can be viewed in so many ways. My parents were out visiting my sister when this broke out. Rodney King probably deserved but should never have been beaten the way he was and Michael brown should have obeyed the cop instead of assaulting the officer ('Hands up, don't shoot' never happened). Both 'victims were thugs.
I don't know where you live, Marcius, but an imperfect 'sole superpower' covering your ass is better than the next best thing.

Yet Rodney King was beaten the way he was, on tape to boot. Your constitutions and laws are supposed to provide protection to everyone, thugs included, right?
There's covering one's ass and there's sodomizing it. What the sole superpower did to its erstwhile competition is best described as the second, which a) was in the US national interest and b) less than the US could expect had the things turned the other way. However, there's no love lost between the nations, even if one counts our secret services fucking over -- oh, just a little, she could well have lost without any staff emails having WikiLeaked -- one of your 2016 presidential candidates as an act of MAGA.
MAY DAY!!! MAY DAY!!! MAY DAY!!!
...no, there is nothing wrong, Ulrika... It is May 1 and needed to get that out of my system!!!

Any one know what happened to those enormous May Day military parades in Red Square, Moscow? The BBC always showed them on TV for several hours, I always wondered why. Now I'm older and dafter, I imagine it was propaganda to get us in the mood for WW3.
Phew! I thought you'd been flooded out!
Wikipedia talks of a Victory Day Military parade on 9th May..

The last May Day military parade in Red Square was held in 1968, although there were sporadic shows by military drill teams later, during the mass demonstrations (which still were being held on 1 May). The yearly 'balls-out' Soviet military parade was held on 7 November until 1990.
There have been Victory Day (i. e. 9 May) parades in 1965, 1975, 1985, 1990 and every year since 1995.
