Good night.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

A reminder: Vladimir Putin could end the war in Ukraine right now, just by ordering his soldiers to go home. No need for treaties or negotiations.

G'morning, & happy Monday! Reading nothing today to keep my brain free of distraction after a re-read of Powell's A Question of Upbringing for this evening's online #MusicOfTime book group hosted by @neglectedbooks.com. Like the sequence as a whole, a work that no amount of re-reading can exhaust.
