In all my life, I've managed to somehow miss experiencing all but one of the earthquakes I've been through. Did NOT feel any shaking at all through this one, now being classed a 5.1. Hope everyone is OK.

RIP David Lynch
His movie The Straight Story was among my favorites.
Lynch supported Ukraine - the next day after invasion, he said:
“...Mr. Putin, you are sowing death, & it’s all on u. The Ukrainians didn’t attack your country... all this death&destruction is going to come back & visit u”

Of all the personal anecdotes being traded about the late John Horgan, I think I like these, from the journalist on sabbatical the most. Above being a pragmatic politician, he was a personable human being.
Anyone who interacted with John Horgan probably has a couple of stories they’re thinking of today.
Here are two of mine.

Two stories about John Horgan
John Horgan loved his family, his province, a good dad joke, and trying his level best every day.
