I told you when I came I was a stranger

Rabbit, rabbit.

Today is the hundredth anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. I like the idea of the war dead taking trains across Britain, handing out their names. [livejournal.com profile] ashlyme shared with me Darren Hayman's Thankful Villages. No ghosts should be walking their streets today.

[livejournal.com profile] strange_selkie tells me that archaeologists have discovered the tunnel from Ponar. The story was always real. I rejoined with Freeman Bernstein, speaking of the accuracy of oral tradition.

Readercon starts in just less than a week. I'll post my schedule as soon as it's finalized. In the meantime, I have acquired a new T-shirt for the purpose.

I hope to spend the afternoon with my husband and the history of radio. [edit] The history of radio was not open to the public, so we went to a really beautiful diorama of Cashes Ledge instead.

Re oral tradition: I'm reminded of a HUmans of New York story from last November, which I can't really find a proper link to: https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork/photos/a.102107073196735.4429.102099916530784/1130941293646636/?type=3&theater

(the main website really does need to be made searchable)
