Wizard Weekend

This was Wizarding Weekend in Ellicott City, MD. Ellicott City is an old city, lot of old buildings, winding roads. A friend from college wrote a book about Snape and was in a bookstore talking about it. I surprised her. I came in late, she totally lost her train of thought, and then apologized for forgetting her question but the most beautiful woman in the world just walked in. Putting that compliment in my pocket and saving it. 

I had butterbeer. It tastes as wonderful as it sounds. 

Canada has provided Ukraine with more than $9million in military, humanitarian, and financial support. Trudeau said, “We’re there with whatever it takes … until Ukraine wins.”

Ukraine has four Patriot systems, three from Germany, one from the US. Germany has promised another one. 

Ukraine said it intercepted 24 of 29 Iranian made drones Russia launched on Thursday. The facility that was struck had no casualties. 

German custom officials raided properties belong to a Russian oligarch. The Russian is the target of sanctions. They’ve taken several luxury cars from him/her.
