They say: We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young, they say. We
have died. Remember us.

They say: Our deaths are not ours; they are yours; they will mean what you make them. They say: Whether our lives and
our deaths were for peace and a
new hope or for nothing we cannot
say: it is you who must say this.

The Young Dead Soldiers by Archibald MacLeish The young dead soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in
the still houses: who has not
heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We were young. We
have died.

My family descended from Daniel Oconnell…

@MavrocksGirl Loads of fun when he taught me to drive on the back roads in Westchester county here… tight corners, curves, narrow- we’d hit those at 60-75 my grandmother would lose her stuff over us “don’t encourage her Jim!” Lol

@MavrocksGirl But will my grandfather took his Pontiac a bit to seriously with speeding- than he upgraded to other cars. Hm may be why I’m talking with a friend about 10 second quarter mile racing lol…

Yep! #OLDSMOBILE

1) Retired New Haven Battalion Chief Frank Ricci on how an Officer is judged by how he carried himself as a firefighter and also by how he carries himself around the firehouse in addition to the fireground. Own every single thing you do.

@jenvanlaar @MavrocksGirl Not good…

☢️ Warning! If Sandy Fire burns thru old Santa Su Field Lab (Rocketdyne) site, you WILL be exposed to radioactive ash! A study of 360 soil samples after 2018 Woolsey Fire found: "The most radioactive sample (19X normal levels) was found 9 mi from SSFL, in Thousand Oaks. Radioactive samples were also found in Simi Valley, West Hills and near Oak Park and Agoura Hills." (Read article in quoted post)

FDNY First Deputy Commissioner Daniel Flynn appeared on @CBSNewYork to discuss the recent deadly in fires across New York City. We remind New Yorkers: » Close the door behind you in a fire. » Have an escape plan—and practice it. » Make sure you have working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. » Plug large appliances directly into wall outlets and do not overload power strips.

Has #StephenColbert’s push into politics hurt the late-night format? Late-night was never supposed to play to a particular type of audience: #JohnnyCarson made fun of politicians, but mostly their public goofs, not their policies. #JayLeno rarely became political. And #DavidLetterman feuded with politicians but not over what they did in Washington. In 2026, late-night shows are a wholly different creation. “These shows were built to be vaudeville in the box in your living room,” says professor Dannagal Young, who studies political satire and the media preferences of liberals and conservatives. “They were a place to watch jugglers and clowns and funny people doing impressions. They were not made for this.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lHirU

So… um this is a golf thing I could be okay with.
