1 July 1895 | A Czech Jew, Karel Platovský, was born in Písek.
He was deported to #Auschwitz on 28 September 1944 from #Theresienstadt ghetto. He did not survive.
Happy #CanadaDay. ‘Canada’ is derived from the word ‘kanata’ from the Iroquoian linguistic family, meaning ‘village’. As a First Nation member, I’m proud to share that connection with my @CanadianForces family.

So much to ponder and to be grateful for! Thank you for leading me along each of these paths and for the community of responders who add further insight to the times in life that can be transformed from boredom, weariness, confusion, and frustration into wonder and productive interaction. Well done!
Laurna – Indeed, community is one of the best gifts.
Two reactions to your blog posts:
1. I like to get at them immediately. There’s always something, in either the text or the photos, to stimulatory imagination and/or give me something new to think about.
2. I like to wait and read them several days later, when the other responses have come in. Sometimes I want to add my own response; just as often, I’m delighted at the range and insight of the responses already there.
When I leap to the keyboard at step 1, I often fail to go back later in the week to see what others have said. When I eventually slither up to the keyboard in step 2, I often don’t have anything further to add.

Jim T – 🙂 Neither a jumper nor a slitherer be, eh? I think Polonius said that. I’m often surprised (sometimes amazed) at where the comments go. And usually pleased (sometimes delighted).
And I always enjoy your comments! 😀
