Thanks to you, as a fortieth birthday treat to myself I headed up onto the High Peak to search for a B-29 Superfortress which crashed 70 years ago last month.
The weather was horrific.

But the crash site- far from the nearest road and respected by generations of visitors- was one of the most remarkable historic wrecks I've ever come across.

I cannot think of a better way to renew my passion for history into the next decade than to visit such a special site, one that I would never have heard of were it not for you. Thank you so much.

Then I hiked over to a Roman road which I took down to the nearest pub.

And then enjoyed some of the world's greatest and best cuisine.
Perfect day.

Also, let me go ahead & disclaim:

I am no one. I am an authority on nothing.

I don't have a license to practice anything but driving.

Please never construe anything I ever say as medical, legal, or other advice.

I'm telling a story.

I wouldn't listen to me if I were you.

Let's start with #ACEs.

Y'all familiar w/the Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Study? Published in 1998 & the basis for hundreds more pubs, which point to childhood trauma's impact across lifespan: the higher your "dose" of childhood trauma, the worse later outcomes tend to be

Good morning of sorts! I'll be using the IRTF overnight to observe some asteroids, so I'll take you along for the ride.

But first, some tea.

I'm back. The inimitable Eric V is my telescope operator tonight, he's doing pointing checks etc., I'm taking some calibration files.
