ICE raid on construction crews

I wonder if the "baddest of the bad" got targeted. Does Bemidji feel safer in ICE's presence?

And why Bemidji? We know 47 has an axe to grind against MN...I do not follow Bemidji news on a regular basis.

Milan Monumentale Cemetery

I spent three hours here in 90+ degree heat. Fortunately, many mature trees provided necessary shade.

After gazing at the array of massive crypts and plethora of bronze upon entering, I headed to the Jewish section, which contained massive (>40') crypts, many Menorahs, and a sizeable presence. Then meandered north. My head was on a swivel! Since the cemetery is less than 200 years old, this defines old. Newish crypts just massive with a modern flair! The ossuary was closed, but the crematorium have a fine display of ornate boxes and vases. I could have spent more than three hours, but had to move to my next destinations.

The photo-a 1963 crypt that I bumped into after first noticing the sunlight hitting an older light blue and white marble crypt.

Such an awesome cemetery!!! Otherworldly.

METL Group

Bloomberg interviewed metl's ceo today. He said his company will mine graphite in Tanzania, and refine within 18 months.

How close is gphof to the refining process?

History Repeating Now

This comic is so slim it would not get noticed within a pic of the bookcase, though it homes on top shelf along with some Hitchens and Hersch.

​

Parallels exist between the then and now. For starters, "obliterated" (how many times has this claim been made?) replaced "Mission Accomplished."

Lying liars will lie.

Graceland in Chicago

The champ's mother and wife within a few feet. Saw one other notable professional athlete-Ernie Banks. Architects Louis Sullivan, Mies van der Rohe, and Daniel Burnham rest here too. Other notable Chicagoans include Cyrus McCormick, Marshall Field, George Pullman, and Victor Lawson. The latter's "marker?" A huge (20'ish) bronze Viking.

Graceland Cemetery in Chicago, just north of Wrigley Field, had a marker for Black Sun. My two volume Mason dictionary does not have an entry for this. The 10'x7'x6' structure honored a Spanish War vet.

What is Black Sun?
