Another good thing about practicing ahead of time

Is you find out that either the battery or the charger for the battery for your speed light doesn’t work and you have enough time to get a new one. 

I had to be with people today. 

I had to be in a 90 minute meeting where we wandering all over verbally and in the end made no decisions. It was horrible. At the end I left quickly because I could not take any more humans. 

We have meetings with as many people as possible and we try to be consensus driven and it is making me an autocrat. 

Three people were caught sending electronics to Russia and now that source of supply of precious parts is over. Restricted items, worth over $7 million, all to help Russia’s war effort. 

Speaking of busted and consequences, A Dutch court sentenced a Russian businessman of exporting computer chips and other electronics to Russian arms companies in violation of EU sanctions. He is going to jail. 


Germany is giving Ukraine another 25 Leopard tanks.

Last night I plugged that battery and charger into three different cords and outlets and it never worked. This morning, for no good reason, I plugged it into another one, just to be obstinate, and the battery is charging right now. Minor nuisances of life.
