This is the second time in two weeks that weather has forced me to deal with Air Canada booking staff. I have to say it was not as unpleasant as expected although the flight changes still suck.

I just learned that celebrated Canadian military historian Tim Cook passed away yesterday. I didn't know him well but he was always generous and supportive of my mediocre forays into military history. I'm gutted. My condolences to his family. What a terrible loss.

Will Chicago cops be able to arrest them for peeing in public?

Anti-vaping rhetoric based on unfounded arguments about its harm leads to smokers choosing to continue to smoke. Great example of Illich's specific counter productivity in which something intended to have one effect does the opposite. www.bmj.com/content/391/...
