Stasera ho rivisto con mia figlia settenne le prime puntate di #Charlotte (若草のシャルロット, Wakakusa no Charlotte), un #anime del 1977 che guardai da bambino e di cui avevo un bellissimo ricordo
Ebbene: tuttavia non ricordavo che nelle primissime puntate il padre con cui Charlotte viveva in #Canada in mezzo alla natura, mentre va a prendere la mamma al porto, che non vedeva da anni, muore tragicamente, lasciandola orfana
Ho dovuto faticare per farlo digerire a mia figlia 🤔
"Four law officers serving a warrant for a felon wanted for possessing a firearm were killed and four other officers were wounded in a shootout Monday at a North Carolina home."
#Charlotte / #NorthCarolina > At least 4 law enforcement officers struck by gunfire [5000 block of Galway Drive] from a suspect barricaded inside his home.
This is still an active situation. Please, avoid area.
UPDATE: 7 people shot in Charlotte NC:
Six officers and the suspect. All are transported to area hospitals. Two officers are reported in critical condition.
AND . . . this job market is just the sampler, it gets better.
This is the econony of Roosevelt, elected 4 times, Truman and Eisenhower, longest economic boom in history, high taxation and bundled services, university system, highway sysyem, AND PAID OFF THE WW2 DEBT at the same rime.
Delightful high wealth taxation, high wage, strong union, increasing services and transformation like the interstate and homes for soldiers. One job, one house.
Okay we’re at Truist Field in #Charlotte watching the Knights #MiLB game against the Tides of Norfolk and I’m seeing for the first time batters being able to challenge balls and strikes. My guess is that this is coming to #MLB ?
Seeing two calls challenged in the first half inning alone (one successfully, one not) it feels . . . well, it feels like something we’ll have to get used to.
@sanimalp@serpicojam it seems as though we’re going to get some version of home plate umpiring involving a machine. Maybe in this version, a team gets 3 challenges per game. Just guessing. But the umpire still does his thing.
@serpicojam Agree. I can’t listen to Christmas music until I’m in the car driving north to go back home for the holiday. It just doesn’t fit the warm setting.
"He was drunk. He was profane. He was worse than annoying, He wouldn't go away, plaguing a #Charlotte area repeater for months. ... He was ordered off the repeater (many times). The trustee contacted the #FCC - they sent letters, but nothing worked. But he began targeting one individual ham for harassment, and that created an opening."
🎧 #DeLaSoul play the Spectrum Center in #Charlotte Saturday night. What I wouldn't give. A city a night across North America after that, through mid-October. Check your local listings.
Despite the super injunction against discussing her. Charlotte Owen, the youngest person ever to be elevated into the House of Lords is named as Boris Johnson's daughter in an altered Wikipedia post. #Charlotte Owen #BorisJohnson#Superinjunction
