The EU

Google says the EU requires a notice of cookie use (by Google) and says they have posted a notice. I don't see it. If cookies bother you, go elsewhere. If the EU bothers you, emigrate. If you live outside the EU, don't go there.

Lowell Native Son Did Well

I missed it in The [Lowell] Sun, but a Lowell native son, Roger Boisjoly, has passed away.  Mr Boisjoly was the engineer who wrote the memo pointing out the possible impact of cold temperatures on the Shuttle Booster Rockets.  Ignoring that memo led to the 28 January 1986 CHALLENGER disaster.

The Obit in The New York Times can be found here.

I would hope that we could find a way to commemorate this as an example for our young men and women in school.

In the mean time, kudos to Mr Boisjoly, a man of integrity.
