Senate Report: Russia Used Social Media to Help Elect Trump

Millions of Russian postings...

A new Senate report finds Russia used virtually all social media to help elect Trump.

A new report prepared for the Senate concludes that Russia used every major social network to support Donald Trump during the 2016 election and continued to support him after he was elected president, Mike Murphy reported on marketwatch.com today.

The Washington Post reported on Sunday that it had obtained a draft copy of the report, which studied millions of social media posts on Facebook, Twitter, Google and other platforms, for the Senate Intelligence Committee, Murphy wrote.

A Funny Story About the SR-71 Spy Plane

Flying fun...
An SR-71 at the Smithsonian Museum near Washington.

Pilots are a breed apart, and they can be very competitive.

One fall afternoon a Navy pilot hot-dogging across California's Death Valley caught the attention of an Air Force crew streaking over Arizona in their SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.

For the funny story of what happened next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILop3Kn3JO8

Darien Featured in The New York Times

Schools, sports, volunteering...


Darien in late autumn.

It was during the home inspection on their 1920s colonial in Darien, Conn., that Josh Pescho got the sense that he and his wife, Kristy, had chosen not just the right town, but the right neighborhood, Jill Capuzzo reports on nytimes.com.

"School had just let out, and there were kids coming out of every nook and cranny, cutting across our lawn and everyone else's," said Mr. Pescho.  

"There are no fences, and we're right in the middle of it.  It's a shared area, so of course you've got to like that kind of thing."
