I just visited the grave of my great uncle at the American Cemetery in Suresnes in France. I never imagined how moving it would be. In the US we lump everything into Veteran’s Day and I’m sure my more distant grandchildren know nothing of the 2 great wars and their toll.

My ancestor fought in The Great War. Was mortally wounded in the Meuse Argonne offensive and died in hospital 1 mo. later. He’s permanently interred in the American Cemetery in Suresnes. Visited him yesterday. They mark headstones w/sand from Omaha Beach for photos. Armistice Day is HUGE in France

Any brand of this. I pour a heaping Tbs down my throat on an empty stomach every morning. Followed by at least 10 oz of water. I used to have chronic consti. & If I was taking pain pills, welp…
I feel for you

Today I visited my Great Uncle at Suresnes. They fill the name with sand of Omaha Beach when families visit. Very moving.

Jays were in the running for Ohtani and declined, and spent nearly as much money. Obviously, given the Mets didn’t even make the playoffs, money ain’t “it”.

You’re just pissed your team didn’t take Ohtani when they had a chance. Jays not far down the list but nice try.

So happy for you! Watson says hey!

Dear #Dodgers, whatever happens in this Series (and I’m not hopeful), please get rid of Blake Treinen. He’s poison as a human, in the pen and is a shit pitcher.

A keeper though I would not eat this version, nor feed it to a stray animal.

Artist Kara Walker’s sculpture “Unmanned Drone” is made from the deconstructed remains of the Stonewall Jackson monument installed in Charlottesville VA. Truly a masterwork that is a “renoble-ing” of the material and concept of our wrong-headed past.

Lots of Day of the Dead marigolds being passed around in DTLA. Had hubs post one in his Tilley hat so I could spot him.
