To Mr. Henry Ford II, President
Dear Mr. Ford:
I have been driving Fords continuously since 1929, and we have had Ford convertibles since 1941. We believe in the use of standard production models. Up until now we have been able to find one acceptable anonymous model.
The following is what we could consider as an anonymous model – one we would like to buy now:
Black Convertible, natural top, minimum of advertising signs and symbols attached – preferably none.
The interior: simple neutral tan leather or good neutral color synthetic material – no two-tones – preferably matching tan paint on interior metal, but would accept black if that is standard.
We have needed a new car for some time, but have been unable to obtain any assurance from our local agent that our requirements are in any way possible to fulfill. On a recent visit to the Alexander Girards in Santa Fe, we were advised by them that our only recourse was to write to you directly and that by so doing we would undoubtedly obtain the information we cannot obtain here. We are taking the liberty of following the Girards’ advice, and trust that this letter will be channeled by your office to the appropriate department.
Thank you for the many positive things that bear the name of Ford.
Sincerely,
Charles Eames

We find the forced, no alternative garish décor revolting and dictatorship-like.
Eames' plea to Henry Ford II was unsuccessful, and for the rest of his life, he bought Mercedes Benz products.

I revealed a confidential report by Boris Johnson’s own government that exposes the falsehoods about Brexit which he has been peddling, on the issue of Northern Ireland in particular. (6th December, 2019)
If elected, Labour will secure a sensible deal based on terms we’ve already discussed with the EU. A deal on our terms will respect the priceless peace in Northern Ireland and people’s jobs. We will then put that deal to a public vote within six months.
Information plaque found by the ruins of the Upper Castle on Gediminas Hill in old town Vilnius:
This castle, also known as Gediminas' Castle, is considered a symbol of Vilnius. Built at the beginning of the 14th century, and replacing an earlier wooden one, it withstood the attacks of the Crusaders. At the beginning of the 15th century, it was rebuilt, strengthened, and along with the Lower Castle, composed a powerful defensive complex. Eventually it lost its importance. After damage caused by the war with Moscow in 1655, it was not rebuilt. After WWII the best surviving tower was restored and now houses a museum, and an observation platform offers visitors an impressive panoramic view. To the east of the tower are the ruins of the ducal palace.

Our Daily Challenge for 2 May was sadness. This is the opening page of my father's 91 page hand-written account (1961) of his experience as an emigrant to Canada from 1957 until the family's return to the UK in 1960. It is in a sense a diary of failure (sad), but also of resilience (happy). Dad died when I was 22. It is sad that we did not really know each other well. Our relationship was comfortable, but this was a family, like so many in Scotland of the time, that did not openly show affection and in which communication was poor. When I view these pages I feel rather sad because dad never lived to see me complete the education that he was so desperate for me to have in order to enjoy the choices that he and my mother never had. But that is also happy. It is sad because he never lived to see and write about his grandchildren or read his granddaughter's poems. Yet he would have been happy that there has been so much to miss.
