Last night two interesting saltines passed up bound. The first at sunset, the BBC Ukraine was headed to Duluth. Here BBC stands for the shipping line that runs the boat and not the British news organization. The other one was German. It was headed to Thunder Bay. Both boats were flying flags of convenience. The Ukraine references the war there that Russia started and after more than four years seems to be losing now and Federal Minnesota reminded Anne of last winter’s conflict in Minneapolis, between ICE and the Americans there.

Oh, and my laptop died last night. Looks like iPhone posting until I get home.
