So many links I would like to check out but not this morning I am too restless to concerntraite
ReplyDeleteCoincidentally, I was just reading a few days ago about the Hephthalites and their war with Persia. The Russian famine of 1921 was horrific, to say the least. Though not caused by malice, such as the Terror Famine in the Ukraine, it was nonetheless caused by human agency. Very sad and tragic. And the Braamfontein explosion? I learned from Dr Who years ago that 'sweaty gelignite is very unstable'. I'd like to see a story here about the Halifax explosion - the equivalent of 3000 tons of dynamite...
ReplyDeleteHi, I think your link for MLK being a trekking is the same as the one about something strange on the Moon.
ReplyDeleteFixed it, sorry about that!
