My brother who’s next after me is 69 now.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Why is space so dark?
The first emperor of the Qin dynasty in ancient China used a carriage hauled by six sheep to decide where he would sleep each night. The carriage was recently excavated near the mausoleum where he was buried.
It appears that Moebius strips have to be a certain length in relation to their width. This has only recently been mathematically proven.
Stone Age flip-flops? Maybe.
Goats and the uses of solar-powered GPS collars.
3400 year old pyramid excavated in Kazakhstan.
What ancient languages may have sounded like.

I begin to see the end of the reorganization of my kitchen. It almost looks neat, even though it still isn’t finished. I have to wait for something I need to be delivered on Monday.
I was up half the night last Thursday, reading my new book that got delivered to my Kindle at midnight Eastern time. Illusion of a Boar by Celia Lake. It’s the story of how four people in the magical community of Albion contribute to misleading the Germans about D-Day. I finished it on Friday and went right back to the beginning to read it again.
I tried an experiment and discovered that my leg doesn’t hurt anywhere near so much since I have dropped one exercise I was doing. I’m going to have to find something else to replace it, but much closer to pain-free is very much what I was hoping for.

Love you guys!
