Tuesday: A day to get an historical thrill.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group gives Kossacks a safe place to check in, a daily diary where we can let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It also allows us to find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, earthquakes etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a Kosmail and ask to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
We do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.
Monday: Crimson Quillfeather alternating with ZenTrainer
Tuesday: ejoanna
Wednesday: Pam from Calif
Thursday: art ah zen
Friday: FloridaSNMOM
Saturday: Gwennedd
Sunday: loggersbrat
I’m a Civil War Buff, among other things. An that has led to a fascination with historical Washington D.C. I get a daily email from Ghosts of D.C. with rare photos from the nation’s capital. Some are just downright odd! Like the photo above, an airplane taking off from the Reflecting Pool in D.C., near the Lincoln Memorial, in 1923.
Or this one from the WW2 housing crunch in D.C.
And this:
I’ve been to D.C. just twice in my life—the last some decades ago. I found it fascinating and inspiring, apart from the actual government at the time. I hope I would still feel that way if I visited now. If you catch my drift.
What city in the US (that you don’t live in) fascinates you? I’d have to add NYC to my own list. . .
