Thanks so much for that rich history. I have witnessed my local library spend millions on a new wing and renovation but I can rarely find any basic collection of the classics as they all say their new lending system is so wonderful. I am overwhelmed by how much I've missed, want my money back from my higher? education while at the same time more motivated now to set it right as best I can.

They're losing which is why their desperate acts are accelerating. If they are lucky someone or some thing will reel them in before it goes nuclear.

I find it strange that you count the American side victorious in the war of 1812. They were not. Nor did they win victory in the peace treaty that ended it. The only way to see a victory for America was to look exclusively at Andy Jackson's victory at New Orleans which happened after the war was settled.

I got this on your husbands account. Is this also on Minds? I'll put it there. 3,2,1 done. So long of a wait for you I know, but for me, it is later.

I was thinking, since Minds scrolls down, into the past, so to speak, that it'd be good to post the article first, then give it a few minutes until posting just the first box quote, like a preview. "Iffin` the reader (because Minds is filled with readers) grunt~nods at the box text, that reader will be more likely to find out what the text major has to offer."

Cherish is the new love, be well.

May your God nod to ward thee.
