Sunday Sundries

This has been one heck of a week. Our attention has been on a lot of things aside from family history.

In Canada, Covid-19 cases are exploding with new more contagious variants. The health system, and those who work in it, are under severe stress. We must all be grateful to the many many often low-paid essential workers who keep our society functioning. Stay safe.

South of the border, we have seen the consequences of "the pen is mightier than the sword" when the pen in the hands of a deranged leader, still in power, is amplified by social media. Would it be too much to hope for a truth and reconciliation process? 

A very few miscellaneous items I found of interest during the week.
