Not sure how many of you Granite Staters are aware of this. I have, because I tend to keep an eye on such matters, known about this for at least 4 years.

It can become a REAL ISSUE if you fly from commercial airports. Basically after June 2016 our current NH licenses will CEASE to be accepted as adequate federal identification. That could be very inconvenient. I, luckily, have two other forms of ID that will work BUT I would rather not carry those around.

Yes, I will be following this closely and, yes, will keep you appraised.

Another Holocaust Story — This One An UNESCO Sponsored Video.

by Anura Guruge

Now that I am irrevocably associated with Kati Preston’s near-Best Seller “Holocaust to Healing: Closing the Circle” I am getting Holocaust related material on my e-mail. This one, on Thursday, was from UNESCO. I could NOT ignore that. UNESCO was a BIG part of my life for 17 years. They paid for some of my education; e.g. Swansea. 

Amazon listing for the paper version.
eBook version at $5.99 or $0 with Kindle Unlimited (or equivalent).

It belongs to ‘King of Autographed Baseballs‘ Randy Kaplan who has appeared many times on this blog. Appears Randy has added bats to his repertoire. He informs me that getting this autograph from the sitting President took considerable effort and help from Nancy Pelosi.

Randy, as I have mentioned in a prior post, now has a Website. You can access it by clicking on the image below.
