As promised, first “Dispatch from Ukraine” just published. The lead:
Nikolaus Sires lives in Dnipro, Ukraine. Originally from New Orleans, he bought an apartment in Dnipro, where he lives with his Ukrainian fiancée, four months ago, because he found the people nice and the area peaceful. Then, in the middle of the night on March 3, he woke to news that the nuclear power plant in Zaporizhzhia was under attack.
"The Russian troops apparently just started shelling and mortaring a nuclear power plant, basically. Shooting at it; there's video," he said. "We thought the nuclear power plant might be blown up that night."
Read the whole thing in Reason here. Yours, from a line at train station, and with thanks to Vitaly whom I met in the train who, being Ukrainian, deduced there actually is a train running to Lviv. Trying to grab it.
Nancy, I have always said that there is a door in my brain marked math and it is locked. When you said you daughter had a math room with no floor. Truly laughed out loud.
Nancy, Do you have any ideas of groups/charities to whom we can send money? I have lists friends sent, but wanted to know if you have suggestion for a specific one or two.
