I never lost power. Storm here not as bad as it was predicted to be.

@ROman that sucks man. Hopefully they can rebuild somehow.

@Brian you're in South Australia, right? It's rough down there right now, I hope your AC is up to the task! It was bad enough yesterday here in Brisbane, and we only had to deal with 35*!

Looks like we've got some summer still to go though.

Today is Germany's Day of Remembrance for the Victims of National Socialism.

First comes the erosion of solidarity, then dehumanization, and then the killing.
It happens so fast. So much for "never again."

@endo The grandfather of Yotam Ben Horin survived Auschwitz. Based on his story, he wrote a song. He told me the story behind the writing process, that was a very tough conversation we had. I cannot get through it without tears in my eyes.
