I’m impressed, Claw.
Your mission was successfully executed. Made the top of the pile once again.

The wildfire in Albert, Canada, mostly in the Ft. McMurray area, has burned more than 215,000 acres. 88,000++ people have been told to evacuate. The videos show that it is increasing at it goes.
In Russia, the same problem is cropping up, with summer wildfires partly due to peat bogs spontaneously igniting from lack of rainfall. Last year, the wildfires moved to the shores of Lake Baikal.

You probably know that Oliver Stone, in his efforts to completely rewrite the history of the world and make a bundle of cash at the same time, put together a documentary in which he calls Truman the worst president ever and says that the Japanese were going to surrender anyway, but they were worried about the Emperor.
Yes, that Oliver Stone, who succinctly proved nothing about JFK’s assassination. I can come up with better nonsense than he did about that.

I wish I had known in advance. I have so wanted to go throw a large Diet Coke in his face and tell him what an asshole he is. I never get advance notice of these things.
