Pociąg ze stacji Krzyż do stacji Kostrzyn tak naprawdę jedzie z miejscowości Krzyż Wielkopolski do miejscowości Kostrzyn nad Odrą. Miejscowość Kostrzyn (bez przydomków) leży w Wielkiej Polsce i tamtejsza stacja nosi nazwę Kostrzyn Wielkopolski.
Jeszcze dla formalności powtórzę często powtarzany fakt, że ten pierwszy pociąg jedzie przez Gorzów Wielkopolski (nazwa miejscowości i stacji), który jest jednym z miast wojewódzkich lubuskiego.

Sneak preview of the first #NLC show of the year seen from Bochum, Germany, from about 1:10 to 2:15 UTC on 18 June 2024: gallery in https://www.facebook.com/groups/leuchtendenachtwolken/posts/3644416239114993/ - one big field in the NE, a smaller and flat but bright one in the N.
Synchronous fireflies flash in unison — blinking together and then going dark together before blinking together again.
Generations of East Tennesseans have called this extraordinary phenomenon the Light Show.
So many people want to see them that except for the lucky visitors whose names are chosen in a lottery each year,
that area of the park is closed during firefly mating season.
I was not one of the lucky ones.

Yesterday I went for a second walk, just to nip up to the top of Whiteside (700m). I knew I was over-doing it. But it'll be fine, right? I've done this sort of thing many times.
Well, this morning I can confirm that I'm not as young as I used to be. I can barely stand up. Putting a brave face on it so my wife won't ground me. But a gentle walk around the lake today, I think.

One wolf would like to go to Szczecin, to continue the sentimental walk through the footsteps of memories. Except it means being out most of the day, with bread for dinner.
The other wolf would like to get home early and eat some of the bacon from yesterday's dinner.

This week, Dr. Anthony Fauci’s new book comes out,

We think this should be covered as a loud, clanging alarm bell about the dangers of a second Trump term.
