I bet you all think I’m like Trump 24/7, but those are just quickie breaks (mostly way too long, of course) from writing about — as someone once called it — the cold poetry of information.

And it’s not going away, so… But, anyway, here’s a gem I found: a chainmail runway torn loose in a blizzard in Alaska in 1944.
