Benvenuti nel nuovo millennio
Due anni dopo questa sparatoria nella scuola [Columbine], le Torri gemelle di New York crollarono come castelli di sabbia.
Questo attacco terrorista uccise tremila lavoratori.
Il presidente George W. Bush ricevette, così, la licenza di uccidere. Proclamò la guerra infinita, la guerra mondiale contro il terrorismo, e poco dopo invase l’Afghanistan.
Questo altro attacco terrorista uccise tremila contadini.
Vampate, esplosioni, grida, maledizioni: scoppiavano gli schermi della televisione. Ogni giorno ripetevano la tragedia delle Torri, che si confondeva con gli scoppi delle bombe che cadevano sull’Afghanistan.
In un paese sperduto, lontano dal manicomio universale, Naùl Ojeda era seduto per terra accanto al nipotino di tre anni. Il bambino disse: “Il mondo non sa dov’è la sua casa”.
Stavano guardando delle cartine.

Kevin Dooley's Pan-American Trek using Google Street View.
Went for a walk to the University, it was homecoming. (Arizona lost: Utah 34, Arizona 21.)
Went to the library to see if a Google search on their computers turned up "666isMONEY' by typing in "666," it did.

Border Dynamics
. . . . Last year, they [Alberto Morackis and Guadalupe Serrano] attracted widespread attention in Mexico and the United States for "Border Dynamics," a set of four monumental human figures that leaned against the wall in the same location. The piece traveled to the UA last fall, and stood outside the student union--complete with an improvised border wall--for two months.
The 14-foot painted metal figures extended outward from the fence, with their feet in the Mexican soil and only their hands or backs touching the corrugated metal. The message was ambiguous. Either they were trying to push the wall down, climb over it, or keep back the hordes on the other side.
The uncertain fate of "Border Dynamics" is instructive about the pitfalls of political border art. Now in storage, it never took its planned place on the Arizona side of the border wall. . . .

My three-year-old Border Collie, Gin, is an international traveler. :-) I first met her in November of 2022 when she was imported from Ireland by a Canadian sheepdog trainer that I train with. I was drawn to Gin right away and let the trainer know about my interest. Eventually the timing was right; Gin joined our family in March of 2024 and now lives with us in the Pacific Northwest (USA).
Skeena District Commercial Vehicle and Safety Enforcement (CVSE) officers participated in a multiagency commercial vehicle safety check in the Yukon, just over the BC border.
CVSE staff were providing technical support and advice to The Yukon CVSA and RCMP. The event took place May 17 and 18th.
In 1938 Czechoslovakia mobilized against the German threats of war, but hat to give in to the Munich Agreement and withdraw from the border fortifications, even if the army was fully capable to stand against the Wehrmacht. After this not only Germany, but also Poland and Hungary ripped pieces of land from the country, and there were also extensive fights with insurgents, which cost lives of many Czechoslovak soldiers and gendarmes. Today it´s a tradition to reenact how the situation could be, when we would have defended ourselfs. It´s a fact that Hitler was affraid of the Czechoslovak military, which at that time had better tanks, more heavy guns, and a very effective fortification system. Of course we win in the reenactments :-)
An alternative future and a massively irredentist resurgent Scots nation have taken the border down to the Lancashire coast, or perhaps Borders Rail Link liveried Alexander TE type Leyland Tiger A323BSC is on a private hire for Lowland Scottish to Blackpool. The crowd of NBC coaches and semi coaches suggest the latter is the case.
