In New York for the Holidays
I’m fresh into New York. We got lost in Yonkers for an hour but finally got to White Plains. Shopping today - into the city tomorrow. This is the view from Cathy’s parents’ patio.

Chalk River Politics
I’m sure every Canadian knows about the Chalk River reactor. It produces most of the world’s radioactive isotopes. It’s closed, meaning that hundreds of thousands of medical diagnostic procedures have been put on hold.
