George and Svetlana
George and Svetlana I have to confess that it was the "Anastasia" agency that brought me luck and happiness, after an endless long-term quest with the many agencies of Moscow. Maybe it was just serendipity, and maybe it was the popularity of the Russian-American "Anastasia" agency, gained by its stable work, that determined my life. One way or another, it was the "Anastasia" Web site where my future husband saw my photo. This is how our story began.
A person with serious intentions and sincere feelings could well be distinguished among many men, with whom the Russian women in search of an overseas husband have to communicate. Just a month after our correspondence started, I had a huge bouquet of roses and a bottle of champagne delivered to my apartment - right before New Year.
Svetlana Then we met in Moscow - a week spent together, a rich cultural program, a diamond ring, a hard parting. All the time that we spent waiting for a visa to finally get together, he was taking care of me. He would send gifts, baskets of fruit and money almost every month. Not that he is rich; he is not, really, he is just a kind and a loving man.
While he was waiting for me to arrive, he began building a house for the two of us. After a sequence of difficulties and delays with getting the visa, in February 2003 I boarded a plane to the state of New Hampshire, where he lived. The house was being finished; it stood in the middle of a beautiful forest like a tower from a fairy-tale.
On the eve of my birthday we moved there. For me it was a fantastic present: waking up on the morning of my birthday in my new home. For several months after the construction workers left, we worked hard at our house, but this joint labor only united us.
A happy love story My husband fulfilled every promise he made before we got together. He bought me a car that I mastered during the nearest summer and fall; in summer we went on a road trip to the most beautiful spots of America. He did everything for me so that I would feel comfortable and confident. I established a good relationship with his grown-up children easily and quickly, and I feel he also deserves the credit for it.
After a year of living in America, I grew to love the country and the place where we lived. The nature and the climate here are very similar to Russia, but it is generally cleaner and there are more sunny days. The people are very friendly and cordial.
In a year, my husband George became the dearest and the closest person for me. He is intelligent and kind; he knows a lot and has a lot of skills, too. I have never seen him in a bad mood. As I improve my English, I find it more and more interesting to communicate with him. We have a lot in common, which makes us very happy. Our lives are dedicated to each other. Each is trying to make the other happy - this is what every woman is dreaming of.
With respect and deep gratitude,
Svetlana G. Bolles
In 1979, to celebrate 150 years of bus operation in London, there was a rally in Hyde Park - preceding it was a road run from London Wall following most of the original route of 1829, along the 'New Road' via Islington Angel and Kings Cross to Paddington. This was followed by a small fleet of horse buses!
Passing Kings Cross - 'garden seat' bus leading and a 'knifeboard' bus following.

Photos in the wake of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis on May 25, 2020. Most businesses along Hennepin Ave (including my office) were boarded up to prevent damage from subsequent rioting. Many of the plywood panels became canvasses for art as the week went along.

Uptown. Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Fort George served as the headquarters for the Centre Division of the British Army during the War of 1812. British forces included British regulars, local militia, aboriginal warriors, and a corps of freed slaves. Major-General Sir Isaac Brock served at Fort George until his death at the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812. Brock and his aide-de-camp John Macdonell, who were both killed during the battle, were initially interred at the fort. In May 1813, the Americans captured Fort George following a barrage of artillery fire from Fort Niagara (located less than 1000 metres across the Niagara River) and ships at the mouth of the river and on Lake Ontario. The bombardment destroyed most of the fort, which was held by the Americans for 7 months.
The Americans used Fort George and the adjacent town of Niagara-on-the-Lake as a base to invade the rest of Upper Canada. However, British forces repulsed the Americans at the Battles of Stoney Creek and Beaver Dams. The British recaptured Fort George in December 1813. During the American withdrawal, they razed the town and the fort. The townspeople rebuilt Niagara-on-the-Lake following the war, and the British partially rebuilt Fort George. However, Fort George's importance diminished as a result of the construction of Fort Mississauga down river on the other side of Niagara-on-the-Lake. As a result, Fort George fell into ruin and was abandoned in 1820.
The fort has since been rebuilt to how it would have appeared during the War of 1812. The only structure that survived the war was, ironically, its most vulnerable: the powder magazine.

During the summer of 1787, it was decided that the Articles of Confederation was not serving its main purpose of defining the abilities of the government and the people. The country needed a more detailed guideline for the government and a newer set of rules for people to follow. The United States Constitution was written and reviewed by congress. It was then signed and became the new constitution for the country throwing out the Articles of Confederation. Congress was presided over by future President and Commander and Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, George Washington.
This chair was the chair that George Washington sat in during that summer when he presided over congress., It is located inside the Signers Room in Independence Hall in Philadelphia, Pa.
I did not really even know who George Ezra was, but I volunteered to accompany Flo and Audrey into DC last night for his concert at the Lincoln Theatre. I was pleasantly surprised with some good music and an entertaining evening.

I've known George for at least forty years -- we have moved in the same circles in the university we were both students at and eventually we both worked at. He's most of a decade older than I am and so retired a few years ago. He says, "I never retired! I quit!" but, for everyone else, that's splitting hairs. I'm still working.
He dropped by my office and we chatted a while. I took three pictures of him. I didn't like the colour in any of them, and this was the best when converted.
