In Coming Days:
March 6: The Flagler County School District Review Committee meets to discuss a book challenge, at 6 p.m. in Room 3A at the Government Services Building, 1769 East Moody Boulevard, Bunnell. The meeting is open to the public. The book under discussion is Sold, by Patricia McCormick. A joint committee of Flagler Palm Coast High School and Matanzas High School reviewed the book and voted to keep it on the shelves. The decision is being appealed to the district committee. A Flagler County group is seeking to ban the book, a novel about a 13-year-old Nepalese girl being sold into sexual slavery in a brothel in Calcutta. Book bans in Flagler have been the unoriginal work of a vigilante group called “moms for liberty,” except when it comes to the liberty to read.
March 7: A joint Flagler Palm Coast High and Matanzas High committee meets to discuss a book challenge, at 3 p.m., at Matanzas High School. A Flagler County group is seeking to ban Last Night at the Telegraph Club, the 2021 historical novel by Malinda Lo and a National Book Award winner.
Notably: Stalin had the stroke that would claim his life four days later. He collapsed, he was done. The Kremlin kept it secret. The next day’s papers in the west were more focused on the disintegration of Mossadegh’s regime in Iran, unaware that Eisenhower had cleared the CIA to end him and install the Shah, that pox on Iran for the next quarter century. Eisenhower was on the front page of the Times the next day, under a big headline that included the word “Georgian” (Stalin was Georgian): “Young Georgian Meets the President.” It was in Augusta, Ga. As one Georgian died, another was born. Mossadegh would hold on until August.

More than one observer has suggested that what really rankles the French is not they are borrowing so many words from the rest of the world but that the rest of the world is no longer borrowing so many from them. As the magazine Le Point put it: “Our technical contribution stopped with the word chauffeur.”
–From Bill Bryson’s The Mother Tongue: English and How It Got That Way (1990).

So Fox Entertainment followers, how’s the Dominion lawsuit coming along?
Sherry says
Good Morning Laurel,
You’ve put a great big smile on my face with this comment.
Just saw the headline that a judge has ruled that Jan. 6th police officers are officially able to sue trump regarding the insurrection= yet another smile. It’s shaping up to be a beautiful day here in wonderful Sausalito!
