It occurs to me that, for the first time in three years, I'm not spending the 14th of July in Baikonur. I'm not exactly sure that, ceteris paribus, I'd want to spend the 14th of July in France, necessarily (it being a holiday, and all, with everything a holiday entails in Europe), but I suppose not celebrating the day in Kazakhstan is progress, of a sort.

In other news, the second major urban blackout of my experience occurred thirty years and a day ago in New York. I wrote about that event and the earlier blackout of November 9, 1965 in my LJ, here.

I'm still trying to wrestle with that "thirty" number.

Cheers...
